Increasing the annual license fees of electric and hybrid passenger vehicles and trucks and electric motorcycles and distributing the fees to the state highway fund and the special city and county highway fund.

Specifically, it raises fees to $175 annually for all-electric passenger vehicles (from $100), $100 for electric hybrid plug-in vehicles (from $50), and $30 for all-electric motorcycles (from $16). These higher fees will be distributed to the state highway fund and special city and county highway funds.
