HB 1057 CO
Veteran Disability License Plates & Taxes & Fees
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill would modify Colorado's disabled veteran vehicle registration program. Currently, disabled veterans are exempt from taxes and fees to register one vehicle and are issued a disabled veteran license plate. The bill would allow disabled veterans to choose an alternative license plate instead of the standard disabled veteran plate, if they qualify for that alternative. If the alternative plate requires additional fees, those fees must be paid, except for military license plates. The exemption would continue to apply only to one motor vehicle per veteran and would not extend to commercial vehicles or farm equipment.

Official abstract
Under current law, a veteran who is disabled and who meets certain standards does not need to pay the taxes and fees to register one motor vehicle. The veteran is issued a disabled veteran license plate with the "D.V." inscription or a United States disabled woman veteran license plate. The bill authorizes the veteran to be issued another plate in lieu of being issued either of the license plates for veterans who are disabled if the veteran qualifies for the plate. If the plate requires additional fees to be issued or renewed, the additional fees must also be paid unless the plate is a military license plate.This program does not apply to commercial vehicles, implements of husbandry, or farm trucks or truck tractors that are taxed at a reduced rate.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
