Bill > HB0505

This bill amends various sections of Utah law to reclassify and reorganize vehicle taxes and fees, with most changes taking effect on January 1, 2027. Key provisions include renaming "fees" to "vehicle taxes and fees" in numerous places, consolidating the collection and disposition of various vehicle-related taxes and fees into specific funds like the Transportation Fund and the Motor Vehicle Division Restricted Account, and adjusting how certain fees are allocated, such as a portion of the vehicle weight tax going to the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund. The bill also updates definitions and procedures related to vehicle registration, license plates, and the collection of taxes and fees, including provisions for emergency fee collection and the creation of new restricted accounts for the Motor Vehicle Division. Additionally, it modifies existing laws concerning vehicle registration periods, emissions inspections, and the collection of fees for services like personalized license plates and special group plates, while also repealing several outdated fee and account provisions.
