in

due

26
temporary

For

fee
is

value

the
vehicle.

EXPLANATION
3
This
bill
eliminates
a
disparity
in
the
annual
registration
4
fees
for
older
multipurpose
vehicles.
Under
existing
law,
5
a
flat
fee
schedule
applies
for
1992
model
year
and
older
6
multipurpose
vehicles,
and
fees
based
on
weight
and
value
apply
7
for
1993
and
subsequent
model
year
multipurpose
vehicles.
8
Under
the
flat
fee
schedule,
the
annual
fee
is
$55
for
a
9
1992
model
year
or
older
multipurpose
vehicle,
but
under
the
10
weight
and
value
system,
the
annual
fee
is
$50
for
a
1993
11
or
subsequent
model
year
multipurpose
vehicle
that
is
12
12
model
years
old
or
older.
The
bill
strikes
the
obsolete
flat
13
fee
schedule
and
treats
all
multipurpose
vehicles
the
same,
14
thereby
reducing
the
annual
fee
for
a
1992
model
year
or
older
15
multipurpose
vehicle
to
$50.
16
The
bill
revises
existing
provisions
that
establish
an
17
annual
registration
fee
of
$60
for
a
vehicle
equipped
to
assist
18
a
person
with
a
disability
to
enter
and
exit
the
vehicle
if
19
the
person
with
a
disability
is
the
owner
of
the
vehicle
or
a
20
member
of
the
owner’s
household.
The
$60
fee
also
applies
if
21
the
owner
of
the
vehicle
or
a
member
of
the
owner’s
household
22
uses
a
wheelchair
as
the
only
means
of
mobility
and
use
of
23
the
wheelchair
is
not
due
to
a
temporary
injury
or
condition.
24
The
bill
extends
the
$60
fee
to
lessees
as
well
as
owners.
25
In
addition,
the
bill
extends
the
$60
fee
to
motor
trucks
26
registered
as
business-trade
trucks
and
older
model
trucks
27
which
are
otherwise
subject
to
a
fee
based
on
the
combined
28
gross
weight
of
the
vehicle
or
combination
of
vehicles.
29
Currently,
only
2010
and
subsequent
model
year
motor
trucks
30
with
a
combined
gross
weight
of
10,000
pounds
or
less
that
are
31
registered
for
a
fee
based
on
weight
and
value
are
eligible
for
32
the
$60
fee.
