This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 84.922, subdivision 5, to eliminate the all-terrain vehicle registration fee for veterans with a total service-connected disability. The new language specifies that these veterans will be exempt from the registration fee and will receive a three-year registration free of charge. To qualify, veterans must provide satisfactory evidence of a 100 percent total and permanent service-connected disability rating from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or the retirement board of one of the armed forces branches.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the existing registration fees for all-terrain vehicles, which remain unchanged for the general public. The fees for public use, private use, and duplicate or transfer registrations are maintained, while the new provision for veterans creates a significant benefit for those who have served and are living with disabilities related to their service.
