Committee adopts amendment to car-inspection bill to preserve municipal fleet-registration revenue
Summary
The Finance Committee adopted amendment 20260259s to a car-inspection bill to require registrants to pay registration, permit and municipal fees for each registration year, intended to keep municipalities whole when moving to a two-year registration period.
The Senate Finance Committee adopted amendment 20260259s to a car-inspection bill after brief briefing and procedural votes. The amendment adds a sentence requiring that, in addition to registration fees, a registrant must pay all registration permit fees and municipal fees for each registration year; proponents said the language was intended to keep municipal fleet-registration revenue whole during a move to a two-year registration period.
Committee members voted to adopt the committee amendment and then to report the bill "ought to pass as amended." The item was placed on consent and the committee recorded the procedural "ayes have it" voice votes. Senator Pearl indicated he might seek to take the item off consent for further consideration.
No roll-call tally for individual senators was recorded in the public transcript; the committee outcome indicates the amendment and the committee recommendation were approved by voice vote and placed on the consent calendar.
