Sponsor: Representative Cook, LD 7

Caucus & COW

Overview

Creates a $135 registration fee for a motor vehicle that is fueled exclusively by electricity and has been issued an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Special Plate or Sticker by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).

History

The registration fee for a motor vehicle is $8, except that the fee for motorcycles is $9. Motor vehicle registration fees are deposited into the Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund by the Director of ADOT. (A.R.S. §§ 28-2003, 2004).

A motor vehicle powered by alternative fuel initially registered in this state before January 1, 2023, was charged a reduced Vehicle License Tax. Alternative fuel vehicles initially registered in this state after January 1, 2023, are now subject to the regular Vehicle License Tax rate of $2.80 per $100 of assessed value for new vehicles based on 60% of the manufacturer’s base retail price for its initial year of registration (A.R.S. §§ 28-5801, 5805).

Amendments

Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure

1.   Makes it so the $135 fee is an annual fee for the registration of motor vehicles fueled by alternative fuel and that are incapable of operating on any other type of fuel rather than a registration fee for motor vehicles that are fueled exclusively by electricity and have been issued an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Special Plate or Sticker by ADOT.

2.   Corrects a technical change.
