This bill authorizes the Escambia County Commission to levy an additional motor vehicle license and registration issuance fee of up to five dollars ($5) on each new registration, transfer, or renewal of a vehicle within the county. The fee can be implemented prior to December 1, 2025, with the motor vehicle license and registration year commencing on January 1, 2026. The bill specifies that this fee is a continuing annual charge and will be collected by the county's license issuing official, in addition to all other existing fees, taxes, or charges related to vehicle licensing and registration.
Furthermore, the bill mandates that the proceeds from this additional fee be distributed monthly to the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided, as it primarily introduces new provisions for the county's motor vehicle licensing process.
