Colorado / State / 2025 Regular Session

HB25-1076 (2025 Session Laws, chapter 16) Struck the permanence requirement from the disabled veteran registration fee exemption

Catalog reconciledEnactedScope changed

Signed Takes effect

Expands benefits Drops the requirement that the service-connected disability be permanent for the registration fee exemption.

Section 7 of a motor vehicle administration act deleted "permanent" from C.R.S. 42-3-304(3)(a), so a 50 percent or more service-connected disability exempts one vehicle from registration fees whether or not VA has made it permanent. The parallel specific ownership tax exemption in 42-3-104(5) was not amended and still requires permanence. The same act repealed the Navy SEAL plate. Codified versions printed before August 2025 still show the old text.
