2021 - 2022 LEGISLATURE
December 17, 2021 - Introduced by Senators Marklein and Ballweg, cosponsored
by Representatives Dallman, Penterman, Kurtz, Oldenburg and Tranel.
Referred to Committee on Transportation and Local Government.
SB778,1,2 1An Act to create 59.58 (6) of the statutes; relating to: county registration of
2animal-drawn vehicles.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
