Bill > HB1380

This bill amends Indiana's existing law regarding supplemental registration fees for electric and hybrid vehicles by specifically excluding motor driven cycles from being subject to the additional fee. The bill maintains the current definition of electric vehicles as those propelled solely by an electric motor powered by a battery, and hybrid vehicles as those drawing propulsion from both an internal combustion engine and an energy storage device. The supplemental registration fee remains $150 for electric vehicles and $50 for hybrid vehicles, with provisions for annual adjustments based on a specific calculation method. The collected fees will continue to be deposited into the local road and bridge matching grant fund. The amendment clarifies that motor driven cycles - which are typically smaller, lower-powered motorized vehicles like some types of scooters or lightweight motorcycles - will not be required to pay the supplemental electric vehicle registration fee. This change becomes effective on January 1, 2026, and aims to provide a targeted exemption for a specific category of motorized vehicles from the additional registration charge.
