What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the fee that must be paid to the Department of Transportation for registering a motor truck is based upon the vehicle's weight. The fee for a vehicle weighing 12,000 pounds or less is $209 and the fee for a vehicle weighing 16,000 pounds or less is $283. A trailer or semitrailer not exceeding 12,000 pounds and designed to be hauled by a motor vehicle other than a truck tractor (trailer) may be registered for one-half of the fee prescribed for a motor truck of the same weight, but a trailer exceeding 12,000 pounds is registered for the same fee prescribed for a motor truck of the same weight.
This bill creates a new registration category for trailers weighing more than 12,000 pounds but not more than 14,000 pounds that are designed to be hauled by a motor vehicle other than a truck tractor. These trailers may be registered for a fee that is one-half of the average of the fees prescribed for motor trucks weighing 12,000 pounds and 16,000 pounds, which, under current law, is a fee of $123.
