The committee approved a small, retroactive measure to correct DMV collections on certain small electric and hybrid vehicles.
Representative Brown said discussions with the Department of Motor Vehicles indicated some revenue offices were charging additional electric/hybrid vehicle fees on vehicles such as golf carts, low-speed vehicles and electric motorcycles. Officials identified about $3,600 in improperly collected fees that the bill would return.
Sponsors described the bill as limited in scope and primarily intended to correct a misunderstanding by local DMV offices. The committee approved the measure on a voice vote and adjourned the meeting.
