This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 168.33, subdivision 7, to introduce a new provision for compensating deputy registrars for no-fee vehicle transactions. Specifically, it mandates that the commissioner compile data on transactions completed by deputy registrars that did not incur a filing fee and distribute funds accordingly. The compensation will be calculated based on the number of no-fee vehicle registration renewals and other no-fee transactions, with amounts of $9 and $13 respectively for each type of transaction. This distribution is appropriated from the driver and vehicle services operating account in the special revenue fund.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change aims to ensure that deputy registrars are financially supported for their work on transactions that do not generate filing fees, thereby promoting efficient service delivery in vehicle registration processes.
