SB 778 -- WATERCRAFT REGISTRATION FEES

This bill increases the fee for a certificate of number when
registering the following vessels:

(1)  Under 16 feet in length from $10 to $25;

(2)  At least 16 feet but less than 26 feet in length from $20 to
$55;

(3)  At least 26 feet but less than 40 feet in length from $30 to
$100; and

(4)  At least 40 feet and longer from $40 to $150.

The first $2 million collected annually for numbering will be
deposited into the General Revenue Fund.  All fees collected in
excess of $2 million will be deposited into the newly created
Missouri State Water Patrol Fund when the state's net general
revenue increases by 2% or more from the previous fiscal year.
Moneys in this fund, subject to appropriations, will be used
solely for the expenses of the State Water Patrol.  Revenue
remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium will not revert
to the credit of the General Revenue Fund.

When applying for or renewing a vessel's certificate of number
from the state or for a vessel documented with the United States
Coast Guard, the owner must submit proof that all personal
property taxes on the vessel have been paid.
