Bill > HB4804

This bill amends Michigan's vehicle registration fee structure to introduce additional fees for certain types of electric and hybrid vehicles. Specifically, the bill increases registration fees for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles, and introduces a new category for hybrid electric vehicles. For vehicles with an empty weight of 8,000 pounds or less, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will see a $30 fee increase, electric vehicles a $100 fee increase, and hybrid electric vehicles a $75 fee increase. For vehicles over 8,000 pounds, the fee increases are $100 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, $200 for electric vehicles, and $100 for hybrid electric vehicles. The bill also establishes a mechanism to further increase these fees proportionally if the state's gasoline tax rises above 19 cents per gallon, with different incremental increases for each vehicle type. The bill defines these vehicle types in detail, distinguishing between plug-in hybrids (which can use both electricity and another fuel), pure electric vehicles (powered solely by electrical energy), and hybrid electric vehicles (with an integrated electric motor and combustion engine). The changes are set to take effect one year after the bill is enacted into law, and are part of a broader effort to adjust vehicle registration fees to account for evolving automotive technologies.
