Motor Vehicles, Titling and Registration - As introduced, subjects plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, instead of all hybrid electric vehicles, to the $100 additional vehicle registration fee for electric vehicles. - Amends TCA Section 55-4-116.

HB 1782 amends Tennessee's vehicle registration fee law to apply a $100 annual fee exclusively to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), removing regular hybrid electric vehicles from this requirement. This change affects PHEV owners who will pay the additional fee starting January 1, 2027, while owners of standard hybrids will not. The bill revises TCA Section 55-4-116 by deleting "hybrid electric vehicles" from the fee eligibility list and specifying the $100 fee applies only to PHEVs during 2027. The policy directly modifies registration costs for a specific vehicle type without altering other fee structures.
