HCS SCS SB 1048 -- REFUND OF MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES

SPONSOR:  Shields (Schaaf)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on
Transportation by a vote of 12 to 2.

This substitute allows a motor vehicle owner to receive a refund
for the unused portion of a registration fee when the owner sells
the motor vehicle and does not replace it with another if the
unused portion is three months or greater.  Currently, owners can
receive credit for an unused portion of a registration fee if
they cannot transfer their license plates to a newly acquired
vehicle due to a change of vehicle category.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on General Revenue Fund in FY 2007, FY
2008, and FY 2009.  Estimated Cost on Other State Funds of Less
than $100,000 in FY 2007, FY 2008, and FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say the bill allows a person who is not
going to transfer a license to get a refund on the remaining
months on the plate.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Shields; and Department of
Revenue.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
