Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 47:462(B)(1) and (2)(a), relative to motor vehicle registration tax on trucks and trailers; to increase the annual registration or license tax for semitrailers or trailers statewide; to increase the one time fee for a permanent license and registration for semitrailers and trailers; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the annual registration tax and permanent registration fees for semitrailers and trailers in Louisiana. Specifically, the annual registration tax for semitrailers and trailers will increase from $10 to $15, with the corresponding four-year payment option increasing from $40 to $60. For those choosing a permanent registration and license plate, the one-time fee will rise from $70 to $105. Additionally, the annual registration tax for light trailers, farm trailers, farm semitrailers (weighing 6,000 pounds or less), and boat trailers will increase from $3 to $4.50, with the fee still payable for a four-year period. These changes affect the taxation and registration of various types of trailers statewide, potentially generating additional revenue for the state and adjusting fees to reflect current economic conditions. The bill maintains existing provisions about refunds and non-transferability of permanent registration plates, ensuring consistent administrative practices while updating the fee structure.
