AL SB168

Amends Section 40-12-244 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to add a new exemption category for persons retired from the United States Armed Forces or any United States Armed Forces reserve organization.

Persons retired from active United States Armed Forces or reserve organizations who are Alabama residents at the time of claiming the exemption receive an exemption from state privilege or license taxes and registration fees for one passenger vehicle.

The exemption applies only to vehicles displaying distinctive United States Armed Forces Retired license tags.

Retired military members may obtain additional distinctive license plates for other passenger vehicles they own by paying regular privilege or license tax and registration fees as prescribed by law.

The act becomes effective on January 1 following passage and approval by the Governor, or upon otherwise becoming law.
