AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1286) proposes an amendment to the state's vehicle registration tax law to provide a tax reduction for disabled veterans. Specifically:

  • The vehicle registration tax for a veteran will be reduced based on their disability rating as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • The reduction applies to only one vehicle per veteran at a time.
  • The bill also ensures that lost tax revenue from this reduction is compensated by transferring an equivalent amount from the state's general fund to the highway user tax distribution fund each year.

The bill was introduced and referred to the Committee on Transportation Finance and Policy for further consideration.
