Bill > HB2128

This bill establishes a new five-year motor vehicle registration option for vehicles with a model year of manufacture less than six years old, beginning January 1, 2027. Under this new provision, vehicle owners can choose to register their newer vehicles for a five-year period instead of the standard annual or biennial registration. The registration fee will include the annual registration fee plus a pro-rated amount for the additional four years of registration. To be eligible, vehicle owners must provide all standard documentation, including a personal property tax receipt, proof of motor vehicle safety inspection (if applicable), and proof of insurance. This option will be available for most motor vehicles, excluding commercial vehicles licensed over 54,000 pounds gross weight. The bill also allows the director of revenue to create rules and regulations to implement this new registration method, and includes provisions for issuing five-year registration tabs as evidence of payment. This change provides vehicle owners with a more convenient and potentially cost-effective registration option for newer vehicles, reducing the frequency of registration renewal and administrative tasks.
