An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in fees, further providing for exemption of persons, entities and vehicles from fees.
SB 797 exempts certain veterans from Pennsylvania vehicle registration fees. It specifically applies to veterans receiving disability benefits tied to service-connected injuries or disabilities, with total annual income under $19,200. Instead of the standard registration fee, the state will charge a $10 processing fee for these vehicles. The veteran must be the principal driver unless physically or mentally incapable, but may authorize others to drive the vehicle. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
