Bill Summary

This bill increases the fees for snowmobile registration and trail use stickers. The bill increases the fee for a snowmobile public use registration certificate from $30 to $45. The bill increases fees for a snowmobile trail use sticker as follows: 1. For a snowmobile registered in-state, from $29.25 to $49.25. 2. For a snowmobile registered in-state but owned by a person who is both a member of a snowmobile club and a member of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs, from $9.25 to $19.25. 3. For a snowmobile registered out-of-state, from $49.25 to $69.25. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

AI Summary

This bill increases several fees related to snowmobile registration and trail use in Wisconsin. The legislation raises the public-use registration certificate fee from $30 to $45, with an exception for snowmobiles owned by political subdivisions, which would maintain a $5 fee. For trail use stickers, the bill introduces multiple fee increases: for out-of-state snowmobiles, the trail use sticker fee increases from $49.25 to $69.25; for in-state registered snowmobiles owned by individuals not members of a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs, the fee increases from $29.25 to $49.25; and for in-state registered snowmobiles owned by individuals who are members of both a snowmobile club and the state's snowmobile association, the fee increases from $9.25 to $19.25. These changes appear designed to generate additional revenue for snowmobile-related infrastructure and maintenance while maintaining different pricing tiers based on ownership and club membership status.
