1997 Assembly BILL 406

June 4, 1997 - Introduced by Representatives Black, Cullen, Springer, Bock, Reynolds, Grothman, Coggs and Plouff, cosponsored by Senator Risser. Referred to Committee on Highways and Transportation.

AB406,1,2 An Act to amend 341.255 (2) (a) to (c) of the statutes; relating to: reducing counter service fees collected by the department of transportation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) collects counter service fees for vehicle registration and certificate of title transactions. DOT collects $3 for a vehicle registration renewal and $5 for a certificate of title and other vehicle registrations. These fees are in addition to the regular registration or title fee collected by DOT.

This bill reduces these counter service fees to $1 for a vehicle registration renewal and $2 for a certificate of title and other vehicle registrations.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
