Bill > SF1111

This bill increases the motor vehicle registration period from 12 months to 24 months and makes various related changes to the motor vehicle registration laws in Minnesota. Key provisions include: - Changing the "annual" registration period to a "biennial" (two-year) period for most vehicle types, including passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. - Doubling most registration taxes and fees to account for the longer 24-month registration period. - Extending the registration period for leased vehicles from 12 months to 24 months. - Updating various other sections of the motor vehicle registration laws to reflect the shift to a biennial system. - Increasing the technology surcharge from $2.25 to $4.50 per registration renewal. - Increasing the optional donation for education on anatomical gifts from $2 to $4 per renewal. - Increasing the filing fees charged by deputy registrars from $7 to $14 for registration renewals and from $11 to $14 for other transactions. The overall goal of the bill is to shift motor vehicle registrations to a 24-month system in order to reduce administrative costs and better align with the biennial state budgeting process.
