AI Summary
This bill increases the fees for snowmobile registration and trail use stickers across several categories. Specifically, the public-use registration certificate fee will increase from $30 to $45, with an exception for snowmobiles owned by political subdivisions which will remain at $5. Trail use sticker fees will also see significant increases: for out-of-state snowmobiles, the fee will rise from $49.25 to $69.25; for in-state snowmobiles owned by individuals not belonging to a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs, the fee will increase from $29.25 to $49.25; and for in-state snowmobiles owned by individuals who are members of both a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs, the fee will increase from $9.25 to $19.25. These changes affect the registration and trail use requirements for snowmobiles in Wisconsin, potentially impacting snowmobile owners and enthusiasts by increasing the cost of registration and trail access.
