Bill Summary

CONCERNING A TEMPORARY REDUCTION IN THE ROAD SAFETY SURCHARGE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MODIFYING THE ALLOCATION OF REVENUES FROM THE SURCHARGE TO INCREASE ALLOCATIONS TO COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES DURING THE TEMPORARY REDUCTION.

AI Summary

This bill temporarily reduces the road safety surcharge by $3.70 for vehicle registrations between September 1, 2025, and September 1, 2027. During this period, the revenues from surcharges, fees, and fines credited to the highway users tax fund will be allocated differently: 56% will go to the state highway fund for highway improvements, 24% will be paid to county treasurers (subject to annual legislative appropriation), and 20% will be paid to cities and incorporated towns (also subject to annual appropriation). The funds can only be used for transportation-related purposes such as highway construction, safety improvements, maintenance, and capacity improvements, and cannot be used for administrative expenses. The special allocation and reduced surcharge provisions will automatically expire on July 1, 2028. The bill will take effect after the standard 90-day legislative period, with the possibility of a public referendum in November 2026 if petitioned.
