This bill amends R.S.39:3-27 to exempt veterans organizations chartered under federal law from motor vehicle registration fees for vehicles not used for pleasure or hire. Currently, only specific government entities and civic organizations are exempt from these fees. The new legal language includes the addition of veterans organizations, as well as other nonprofit organizations and local councils of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, among those eligible for fee exemptions.
The bill aims to recognize and support veterans organizations by alleviating the financial burden of motor vehicle registration fees, aligning them with other exempt entities. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing veterans organizations to benefit from this exemption without delay.
