House Bill No. 660, introduced by Representative Boyd and Senator Carter, aims to amend the annual registration tax for trucks and trailers in Louisiana. The bill proposes to increase the annual registration or license tax for semitrailers and trailers 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 unused trailers, increasing it from $10 to $15 for each year the trailer is not used.

Furthermore, the legislation increases the one-time fee for a permanent registration and license plate for semitrailers and trailers 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 are intended to update the tax structure for vehicle registration in the state, ensuring that it reflects current economic conditions.
