This bill increases the monetary limit for a motor vehicle that can be exempt from a deceased person's will or estate distribution to fifty thousand dollars, up from the previous twenty-five thousand.

If a family member chooses a vehicle worth more than fifty thousand dollars, they must pay the difference to the estate, or they can instead receive up to fifty thousand dollars in cash. The legislation also clarifies that if the car was specifically bequeathed in a will, any payment made to the estate for the amount exceeding the limit belongs to the person named in the will.
