SB 987 exempts vehicles displaying specific military or disabled veteran license plates from paying airport parking fees at Tennessee airports. It directly affects owners of vehicles with qualifying plates, including those displaying Purple Heart, Medal of Honor, Disabled Veteran, or similar military recognition plates, as defined in Tennessee law. The bill requires airports (non-federal authorities) to waive parking fees for these vehicles when operated by the owner/lessee or for transporting a disabled veteran. This change applies statewide to all Tennessee airports covered under the amended sections of Title 42. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
