A regional transit authority under s. 59.58 (6) may impose a fee at a rate not to exceed $2 for each transaction in the region, as defined in s. 59.58 (6) (a) 2., on the rental, but not for rerental and not for rental as a service or repair replacement vehicle, of Type 1 automobiles, as defined in s. 340.01 (4) (a), by establishments primarily engaged in short-term rental of passenger cars without drivers, for a period of 30 days or less, unless the sale is exempt from the sales tax under s. 77.54 (1), (4), (7) (a), (7m), (9), or (9a). The fee imposed under this subchapter shall be effective on the first day of the first month that begins at least 90 days after the governing body of the regional transit authority approves the imposition of the fee and notifies the department of revenue. The governing body shall notify the department of a repeal of the fee imposed under this subchapter at least 60 days before the effective date of the repeal.
