An Act Regarding the Registration of Motor Vehicles of Deployed Members of the National Guard or Reserves of the United States Armed Forces

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 36 MRSA §1483, sub-§16, as enacted by PL 2007, c. 404, §3 and affected by §4, is amended to read:

16. Active military stationed in Maine. Vehicles owned , including those jointly owned with a spouse, by a person on active duty serving in the Armed Forces of the United States who is permanently stationed at a military or naval post, station or base in the State. A member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in the State who desires to register that member's vehicle in this State shall present certification from the commander of the member's post, station or base, or from the commander's designated agent, that the member is permanently stationed at that post, station or base. For purposes of this subsection, "a person on active duty serving in the Armed Forces of the United States" does not include a member of the National Guard or the Reserves of the United States Armed Forces unless that person is under an order to active duty for a period of more than 30 days, as defined in 10 United States Code, Section 101(d)(2).

Summary

Current law provides an exemption from the excise tax imposed on vehicles owned by a person on active duty serving in the Armed Forces of the United States; a member of the National Guard or Reserves of the United States Armed Forces does not qualify for the exemption. This bill extends that exemption to a member of the National Guard or Reserves of the United States Armed Forces if that member is under an order to active duty for more than 30 days. This bill also specifies that a vehicle jointly owned with a spouse of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is on active duty is eligible for the exemption.
