What’s in it

This bill limits the annual registration fee for a vehicle displaying fire fighter special registration plates and owned by an eligible volunteer fire fighter to no more than $100. The limited annual registration fee applies to only one vehicle per household. In order to qualify, the volunteer fire fighter must have served for at least five years, receive compensation of less than $5,000 per year for service as a volunteer fire fighter, actively attend and participate in monthly meetings, trainings, responses, and other duties, and meet any additional S.F. requirements established by the public entity that the volunteer fire fighter serves.
