Disabled veterans exemption from watercraft fees
This bill exempts veterans with a 100% service-connected disability from paying watercraft registration fees in Minnesota. It directly affects qualifying veterans who provide proof of their disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The law amends state statute to waive all fees related to watercraft registration, transfers, duplicates, and surcharges for these veterans. The policy change is effective immediately upon enactment, removing financial barriers for this specific group.
