MTR VEHICLE/INSPECTION: Provides relative to a motor vehicle inspection tax (OR +$8,333,410 SG RV See Note)

HB 221 would create a $10 annual tax on most motor vehicles (excluding those requiring a certificate of inspection) collected every two years alongside registration fees. This tax, estimated to generate approximately $8.3 million annually, directly affects vehicle owners who pay the fee. Revenue from the tax would be split: $1.25 per vehicle to the Motor Vehicles office, $4 per vehicle for state police officer training, and $4.75 per vehicle for traffic enforcement. The bill requires the Motor Vehicles Commissioner to establish collection rules and specifies that funds must be used for these public safety purposes.
