Vehicle Laws - Vehicle Registration Fees - Sixth Legislative District

HB 1379 temporarily reduces vehicle registration fees for residents in Maryland's Sixth Legislative District who own eligible vehicles (passenger cars, motorcycles, and certain trucks) until a replacement bridge for the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge opens to traffic. It lowers standard fees: passenger cars under 3,500 lbs pay $30.50 instead of $80.50 annually, motorcycles pay $15.00 instead of $65.00, and qualifying trucks have fees reduced by $50. The bill applies only to vehicles registered to an address in the Sixth District and expires upon the bridge's reopening. This is a targeted, temporary cost relief measure tied to a specific infrastructure event.
