What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the surcharges for registering electric automobiles and

motor trucks and creates a surcharge of $5 for registering automobiles and motor

trucks weighing over 4,500 pounds.

Under current law, a motor vehicle may not be operated upon a highway

without a current, valid registration. In general, vehicles must be registered on an

annual basis by payment of a specified fee to the Department of Transportation. For

motor trucks and automobiles that are hybrid electric vehicles or nonhybrid electric

vehicles, a surcharge of $75 and $100, respectively, is added to the annual

registration fee.
