The bill proposes an increase in vehicle registration fees in Minnesota by amending specific sections of the Minnesota Statutes. In section 168.33, subdivision 7, the filing fee for vehicle transactions is raised from $7 to $10, and the fee for fuel licenses is increased from $11 to $17. Additionally, the allocation of fees collected under this subdivision has been modified, with specific amounts deleted but not replaced in the text. In section 171.061, subdivision 4, the filing fee charged by agents for applications is increased from $8 to $16.

These changes aim to adjust the fees associated with vehicle registration and related services, reflecting an increase in costs. The bill also maintains provisions for fee waivers in certain circumstances, such as errors made by the Department of Public Safety or for the permanent surrender of a vehicle title. Furthermore, it allows for the payment of these fees via credit or debit cards, with agents permitted to collect a surcharge to cover processing costs.
