The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 168.33, subdivision 7, to establish a system for compensating deputy registrars for no-fee vehicle transactions. It introduces a new provision that requires the commissioner to compile data on transactions completed by deputy registrars that did not incur a filing fee. For each no-fee vehicle registration renewal, deputy registrars will receive $9, and for all other no-fee vehicle transactions, they will receive $13. However, transactions that are corrections to previous transactions will not be included in this calculation. The total amount distributed to deputy registrars will be appropriated from the driver and vehicle services operating account in the special revenue fund.

Additionally, the bill specifies that this new compensation structure will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change aims to ensure that deputy registrars are fairly compensated for their work on no-fee transactions, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of vehicle registration services in Minnesota.
