This bill amends section 60-3,191 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to establish a new fee structure for the registration of motor vehicles powered by alternative fuels. The bill introduces a tiered fee system: motorcycles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will be charged a fee of seventy-five dollars, while other alternative fuel vehicles will incur a fee of one hundred fifty dollars. Additionally, for commercially registered alternative fuel vehicles with a gross weight exceeding seven thousand five hundred pounds, the fee will be three times the applicable fee for other alternative fuel vehicles.
The bill also specifies that the collected fees will be managed by the county treasurer and subsequently remitted to the State Treasurer for allocation to the Highway Trust Fund. Furthermore, the original section 60-3,191 is set to be repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing fee structure for alternative fuel vehicle registrations.
