The bill proposes the implementation of an annual fee specifically for electric vehicles registered in the state. This initiative aims to address the growing number of electric vehicles and their impact on transportation funding. The legislation includes definitions relevant to the fee and amends Section 15-70-126 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate these changes.
In addition to establishing the fee, the bill outlines the effective date and applicability of the new provisions. The intent is to ensure that electric vehicle owners contribute to the maintenance and development of transportation infrastructure, similar to traditional vehicle owners who pay fuel taxes.
