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 public and private use, as well as for duplicate or transfer registrations. The amendment introduces a new paragraph (d) that specifically addresses the exemption for disabled veterans, while also renumbering the subsequent paragraphs accordingly. Overall, this legislation aims to support veterans by alleviating the financial burden of vehicle registration fees.
