The Utah Senate unanimously approved Senate Bill 100, which waives motor vehicle license and registration fees for veterans who have received the Purple Heart.
Senator John Hickman introduced and explained SB100 on the third-reading calendar, saying the bill would waive the fees associated with vehicle licensing and registration for qualifying veterans. "SB100 waives the cost of the fees regarding the licensing of an automobile for anyone who has received the Purple Heart," the sponsor said on the floor.
After a motion for final passage and a roll-call vote, the President announced that SB100 had received 29 yes votes and 0 nays. The measure will be returned to the House for its further action and processing.
Next steps: The bill goes back to the House for its action; state administrative offices will implement the fee-waiver provisions once enacted.
