The bill, H.B. No. 4472, proposes an amendment to the Transportation Code regarding the registration fees for certain trailers, travel trailers, and semitrailers. Specifically, it reduces the registration fee for trailers with a gross weight of 6,000 pounds or less from $45.00 to $20.00. This change is reflected in the amended Section 502.254(a), where the new fee is inserted, and the previous fee is deleted.

The new fee structure will only apply to registrations that are submitted on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This means that any applications for registration made before this date will still be subject to the old fee of $45.00.
