AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES - REGISTRATION FEES

SB 72 allows disabled veteran license plates to be transferred to a spouse under specific circumstances. Eligible veterans with qualifying service-connected disabilities (like 100% disability rating or inability to work due to service) currently receive registration fee exemptions and "Disabled Veteran" plates. The bill adds that plates may be transferred to a veteran's spouse during the veteran's lifetime if the veteran can no longer operate a vehicle, or after the veteran's death to a surviving spouse (until remarriage). This change affects veterans and their spouses who qualify for the disabled veteran plate program.
