The bill amends RCW 82.80.140 to increase the maximum weight limit for vehicles subject to transportation benefit district vehicle fees from 6,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds. It also maintains the maximum annual vehicle fee at $100 per vehicle, while allowing districts to impose additional fees based on the duration of previously imposed fees. Specifically, districts can charge up to $20, $40, or $50 depending on how long a vehicle fee has been in place, with the requirement that the fee does not exceed $50 when combined with fees from other districts.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the distribution of fee revenues must be governed by an interlocal agreement approved by the district and a majority of cities representing a significant portion of the population within the district. It also outlines exemptions from the fee for certain types of vehicles, including campers, farm vehicles, and off-road vehicles. The Department of Licensing is tasked with administering and collecting the fees, with a provision that no fees can be collected until six months after approval.
