What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation charges an annual

registration fee of $75 for most automobiles and a varying fee based on the gross

weight of the vehicle for most motor trucks that are registered within the state.

Under this bill, if a motor truck or automobile is a nonhybrid electric vehicle, a

surcharge of $125 is added to the registration fee for automobiles and for certain

motor trucks with a gross weight of not more than 8,000 pounds.
