SB356,1,3
1An Act to repeal 341.25 (1) (L); and
to create 341.25 (1) (m) of the statutes;
2relating to: registration surcharges for electric vehicles and vehicles over
34,500 pounds.
Analysis by the 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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
