This bill aims to provide financial relief to disabled veterans by reducing their annual motor vehicle registration fees and registration plate fees. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows for a reduction in the registration fee based on the veteran's service-related disability rating as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. This reduction applies to one vehicle owned by the disabled veteran and extends to any special or personalized registration plates associated with that vehicle.

The proposed amendment to Section 321.109 of the Iowa Code establishes that the annual registration fee for eligible disabled veterans will be decreased by a percentage that corresponds to their disability rating. This initiative not only acknowledges the sacrifices made by veterans but also aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens they may face in maintaining vehicle registration.
