SB 778

Current law allows a county, town, village, or city to enact an ordinance to

collect an annual registration fee for motor vehicles that weigh less than 8,000

pounds and are customarily kept in the county, town, village, or city.

This bill allows a county to enact an ordinance requiring registration of, and

imposing an annual flat registration fee not to exceed $100 on, animal-drawn

vehicles that are operated on a highway and customarily kept in the county. The

ordinance, however, may not require the registration of animal-drawn vehicles that

are used solely for recreational purposes or that are implements of husbandry. The

bill requires a county to pay 50 percent of any such fee to a town in which the vehicle

is customarily kept. The registration fee moneys may be used only for transportation

purposes or for actual administrative costs related to the collection of the registration

fee.
