The legislative bill H.F. No. 01222025 aims to provide tax and fee exemptions for motor vehicles registered by volunteer firefighters and certain veterans in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill amends an existing statute to extend exemptions, originally available to veterans with total service-connected disabilities, to active members of volunteer fire departments who can provide necessary documentation from their fire department chief.

Under the amended law, both these groups would not be subject to the following charges for up to two motor vehicles: 1. Registration taxes normally applicable under this chapter. 2. Administrative fees. 3. Filing fees and surcharges. 4. Plate and validation sticker fees.

The bill also specifies that these exemptions apply to vehicles jointly registered by a qualifying veteran, an eligible owner, and their spouse or domestic partner. However, fees for personalized plates and required contributions for special plates are not covered by these exemptions.
