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 current law is amended to specify that the registration fee for vehicles owned by volunteer fire departments or organizations conducting rescue operations will remain at $15.00, while a new provision is added to state that the registration fee for a motor vehicle owned or leased by a volunteer firefighter, who has been issued a permit for sirens and signal lamps, will be $0.00.

Additionally, the bill includes a correction in the terminology from "fire fighting" to "firefighting." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that volunteer firefighters can benefit from this fee waiver in the near future.
