House Bill No. 660, introduced by Representative Boyd and Senator Carter, amends the annual registration tax for semitrailers and trailers in Louisiana. The bill increases the annual registration or license tax for each semitrailer or trailer from $10 to $15. Additionally, it raises the four-year tax option from $40 to $60 for those who choose to pay the tax every four years. The bill also modifies the refund amount for those who change their domicile or sell their trailer, increasing the refund from $10 to $15 for each year the trailer is not used.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a one-time fee for permanent registration and license plates for semitrailers and trailers, increasing the fee from $70 to $105. It also raises the annual registration tax for light trailers, farm trailers, or farm semitrailers with a loaded gross weight of 6,000 pounds or less, as well as boat trailers, from $3 to $4.50. These changes aim to update the tax structure for truck and trailer registrations statewide, ensuring that the fees reflect current economic conditions.
