Passed in the House 90 to 19 (details)
To reduce the number of separate vehicle types and categories specified in the law imposing an annual vehicle registration (license plate) tax. Reportedly the bill represents a tax increase of around $35 million per year, which would go to road funding. It is one of several bills in a House road funding package that together would increase road funding by around $500 million annually, mostly from repurposing current tax revenue and a relatively small amount from increased taxes and fees. See in particular House Bills 5459, 5477 and 5492.

Failed in the Senate 18 to 20 (details)
To eliminate the current 10 percent reduction of vehicle registration (license plate) fees for a new vehicle's second, third, and fourth years of registration. This would represent a $145 million tax increase on vehicle owners. The bill would also increase the drivers license renewal fee from $18 to $25, and increase a number of other fees on different kinds of vehicles and trailers.

Amendment offered
by
To postpone the proposed elimination of gradual reductions in the new vehicle registration tax until 2016.
The amendment passed by voice vote
Passed in the Senate 21 to 15 (details)
To eliminate the current 10 percent reduction of vehicle registration (license plate) fees for a new vehicle's second, third, and fourth years of registration. This would represent a $145 million tax increase on vehicle owners, but it would not take effect until 2016. The bill would also increase the drivers license renewal fee from $18 to $25, and increase a number of other fees on different kinds of vehicles and trailers. However, with the Senate's unwillingness to pass a related $1.2 billion gas tax increase the bill's future is in question..
Failed in the House 1 to 106 (details)
To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill. The vote sends the measure to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences.
Received
Passed in the House 67 to 43 (details)
To increase vehicle registration taxes on heavy trucks, on cars after the first year of ownership, and on electric vehicles. Heavy truck owners would pay around $50 million more each year, and other vehicle owners $150 million more as the current fleet ages and the change is fully realized. However, that will only happen if voters approve increasing the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent in a May 5, 2015 election (see House Joint Resolution UU). Both measures are part of an approximately billion tax hike package that would generate $1.2 billion more each year for road repairs.
Passed in the Senate 23 to 15 (details)
