The bill H.111 proposes to waive the registration fee for personal motor vehicles owned by volunteer firefighters, provided they have written authorization to use the vehicle for emergency fire or rescue activities. The bill amends current law under 23 V.S.A. 376(c) to establish that the registration fee for vehicles owned or leased by volunteer firefighters, which are issued a permit for sirens and red or red and white signal lamps, will be set at $0.00, replacing the fees otherwise specified in the chapter.

Additionally, the bill makes a minor amendment to the language regarding the registration fee for vehicles owned by volunteer fire departments or organizations, changing the term "fire fighting" to "firefighting." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
