Overview

Adds a vehicle license tax (VLT) and registration fee exemption for bona fide purple heart recipients and their surviving spouse.

History

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 28-5802, the registering officer is prohibited from collecting a VLT or registration fee from:

1)    A veteran residing in Arizona for a vehicle or any replacement vehicle acquired by financial aid from the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA); and

2)    A veteran for a personally owned vehicle or a veteran and another party owning a vehicle if the veteran is certified by the VA to be 100% with a disability and drawing compensation on that basis. The exemption provided applies to a surviving spouse of the veteran with a disability until the surviving spouse remarries or death.

On initial registration on a vehicle a veteran claiming an exemption must present satisfactory proof of the VA financial aid or government compensation and certificate on determination of 100% disability, as applicable. The exemption only applies to one vehicle or any replacement of the vehicle.
