What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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 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.
