Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
1 instrument in Maine. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.

▼Restricts benefitsRequires the qualifying veteran to be named on the certificate of title, so a vehicle titled only in a spouse's name no longer qualifies for the excise tax exemption.
The qualifying veteran must now be named on the automobile’s certificate of title, and where a vehicle has multiple owners at least one titled owner must meet the requirements. A vehicle titled only in a spouse’s name no longer qualifies. The Bureau of Veterans’ Services page on the exemption still quotes the section as amended in 2009, cites only subsection 1 of Title 29-A section 523 rather than subsections 1 or 2, and does not carry these requirements.
