HI HB1790

Exempts qualified disabled veterans with 100% service-connected disability ratings from annual vehicle registration fees, county registration fees, vehicle weight taxes, and county beautification fees, limited to one vehicle per veteran.

Requires the director of the office of veterans' services to report to the legislature and department of taxation prior to each regular session on the total number of disabled veterans qualifying for these exemptions.

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 249-33 and 286-51 to clarify that disabled veteran vehicle exemptions apply to state vehicle weight taxes and county beautification fee provisions.

Updates section 437D-3 to reference the correct statutory provision (286-51(c)(1)) for highway beautification fees in the definition of "vehicle license recovery fees."

Takes effect July 1, 2024.
