This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to provide that volunteer firefighters who have served for at least five years are eligible for free motor vehicle registrations and license plates for one personal vehicle. The bill specifies that eligible firefighters must present an affidavit from their chief confirming their service duration, and this benefit does not extend to commercial vehicles owned or operated by the firefighter.

Additionally, the bill includes several technical amendments, such as changing the term "periodic" to "annual" in relation to low-speed vehicle inspections. It also clarifies existing exemptions from registration and license plate requirements for various types of vehicles, including those used for agricultural purposes. Overall, the bill aims to recognize the service of volunteer firefighters by alleviating the financial burden of vehicle registration fees.
