Summary
Current law exempts the owner of a motor vehicle who is a member of the United States armed forces (member) from motor vehicle registration fees and sets the specific ownership tax at $1 while the member is serving outside the United States. This applies to personal motor vehicles and intrastate trucks, truck tractors, trailers, and semitrailers used to transport property. To qualify, the member must show the military order or evidence acceptable to the department of revenue (department) demonstrating that the member served outside the United States and sign an affidavit that the motor vehicle will not be driven while the tax rate applies. Section 1 of the bill repeals the requirement that the member sign the affidavit to pay the $1 specific ownership fee. Section 3 repeals the requirement that the member sign the affidavit to be exempt from the motor vehicle fee. Current law exempts members from paying late fees for failing to renew a registration for a vehicle if the member was serving outside the state when the registration period expired. Section 2 sets the requirement to qualify for a late fee exception by requiring the member to show the military order or evidence acceptable to the department demonstrating that the member served outside of the United States. The department will notify the member that the vehicle or motor vehicle must not be driven during deployment.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
