What This Bill Does
This bill amends vehicle registration fees to provide funding for Motor Vehicle Division services in counties of the third through sixth class.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- provides funding for counties that provide Motor Vehicle Division services on behalf of the division;
- modifies vehicle registration fees;
- creates the Vehicle Registration Services Restricted Account;
- increases the required contribution for the historical black license plate from $25 to $50;
- allocates special group license plate revenue from the historical black license plate; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting in January 2027, this bill adds a small fee ($0.50 for standard annual registration, $0.25 for six-month registration) to every vehicle registration in Utah, depositing that money into a new "Vehicle Registration Services Restricted Account" that funds counties which run motor vehicle registration offices on behalf of the state — with smaller, more rural counties receiving more money per registered vehicle than larger ones. The bill also raises the voluntary contribution for the historical black license plate (a specialty plate supporting Utah history) from $25 to $50, and redirects that revenue to the Cultural and Community Engagement Foundation Fund, the Transportation Investment Fund, and the Olympic and Paralympic Venues Grant Fund.
