Bill > HB221

This bill establishes a new annual motor vehicle inspection tax of ten dollars for vehicles not currently required to obtain a regular vehicle inspection certificate. The tax will be collected by the commissioner of motor vehicles every two years during vehicle registration, and the collected funds will be distributed as follows: $1.25 will go to the office of motor vehicles, $4 will be allocated for state police officer training, and $4.75 will be used for traffic enforcement. The tax will be collected alongside the existing motor vehicle license tax and remitted to the state treasurer. After fulfilling constitutional requirements related to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund, the legislature will appropriate the tax proceeds to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The commissioner of motor vehicles is required to create administrative rules and regulations to implement this new tax collection process. The bill's implementation is contingent upon the passage of a related House Bill during the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature.
