Bill > SB6262

This bill increases the maximum weight of certain vehicles that are subject to fees imposed by transportation benefit districts, which are local government entities established to fund transportation projects. Specifically, the bill amends RCW 82.80.140 to raise the threshold for vehicles subject to gross weight license fees from 6,000 pounds to 9,000 pounds, meaning vehicles up to this new weight will now be subject to these district fees. The bill also adjusts the maximum annual vehicle fee that these districts can impose, with some provisions for increased fees based on how long a fee has been in place and voter approval, and it clarifies the distribution of revenues for countywide districts. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
