2the statutes; relating to: waiving operator's license fees for disabled veterans.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Transportation must charge required
fees for the initial issuance and renewal of a license authorizing operation of “Class
D" vehicles, which are automobiles and most passenger vehicles, or “Class M" motor
vehicles, which are motorcycles. This bill waives those fees for an applicant who is
a veteran with a service-connected disability.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
