MOTOR VEHICLES

State law also provides that fees may be waived for the following registration items, subject to a formal determination by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Special license plates for disabled veterans, and Special-fee license plates for certain disabilities (loss of use of or loss of limb, or blindness) for handicapped and overtime parking.
