A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO VETERANS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 249, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§249- Exemptions for certain cars; disabled veterans. Any totally and permanently disabled veteran who is:
(1) A resident of Hawaii;
(2) Other than dishonorably discharged from the United States uniformed armed forces;
(3) Determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its predecessor to have a service-connected one hundred per cent disability rating for compensation or a service-connected disability rating of one hundred per cent; and
(4) In receipt of disability retirement pay from any branch of the uniformed armed forces;
shall not be required to pay any motor vehicle registration fees as required by section 249-31. This exemption shall not extend to vehicles used for commercial purposes, nor to more than one vehicle of the disabled veteran."
SECTION 2. Section 249-31, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) All vehicles and motor vehicles in
the State as defined in section 249-1, including antique motor vehicles, except
as otherwise provided in sections 249-4 [and], 249-6, and
249- , shall be subject to a $45 annual vehicle registration
fee. The fee shall be paid each year together with all other taxes and fees
levied by this chapter on a staggered basis as established by each county as
authorized by section 286-51, and the state registration for that county shall
likewise be staggered so that the state registration fee is due and payable at
the same time and shall be collected together with the county fee. The state
registration fee shall be deemed delinquent if not paid with the county
registration fee. The respective counties shall collect this fee together with
the vehicle registration tax collected for the county and shall transfer the
moneys collected under this section to the State."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
