Bill > SB91

This bill amends the Code of Alabama 1975 to impose additional license taxes and registration fees on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) operated in the state. The additional fees will be $200 for BEVs and $100 for PHEVs, increasing by $3 every four years starting in 2023. The bill also creates the Electric Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program within the State Department of Transportation to distribute grants for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Proceeds from the additional BEV and PHEV fees will initially be distributed to the state, counties, and municipalities, with the remainder going to the Rebuild Alabama Fund for transportation projects. Once BEV and PHEV registrations exceed 4% of total vehicle registrations, the fees will be reduced and the proceeds will be solely deposited into the Rebuild Alabama Fund. Additionally, the bill imposes a new $5 annual license tax and registration fee, with the proceeds going to the Alabama Public Transportation Trust Fund to increase public transportation options across the state.
