AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to eliminate the flat weight tax for trailers weighing 3,000 pounds or less that are not farm trailers. Currently, trailer owners pay a registration fee and flat weight tax to the Secretary of State for using public highways, with different rates based on the trailer's weight. The bill specifically removes the existing tax categories for trailers at or below 3,000 pounds (previously classified as UT and TA classes with a $36 fee), leaving only the tax rates for heavier trailers (5,000 lbs and above, and 8,000 lbs and above). The change effectively reduces the tax burden for owners of smaller, non-farm trailers by eliminating their requirement to pay the flat weight tax. Farm trailers, which have a separate registration process and fee structure, remain unaffected by this legislative change.
