HB 5024 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to the Waiving of Certain DMV Fees for Volunteer Firefighters

HB 5024 removes specific DMV fees for volunteer firefighters in West Virginia, including license plate fees, vehicle registration costs, operator's license fees, and inspection fees. The bill directly affects volunteer firefighters who serve in their communities, waiving these recurring costs associated with vehicle ownership and operation. Key provisions amend existing law to exempt volunteer firefighters from these fees when registering vehicles or obtaining licenses. The bill does not create new fees or alter other existing exemptions, focusing solely on eliminating these costs for the specified group. This is a concrete policy change that reduces financial burdens for volunteer firefighters.
