SENATE BILL 1065
RS30291 / S1065
This legislation provides an alternative way for owners of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to pay the additional registration fees based on actual miles traveled. Currently, electric vehicles are charged the base registration fee of $45-69 (based on the age of the vehicle) plus an additional $140 in acknowledgement that an electric vehicle does not pay gas tax; and plug-in hybrid vehicles are charged the same base registration fee of $45-69 plus an additional fee of $75. This legislation institutes an optional road usage charge of $.01/mile that would replace the additional fee of either $140 for electric vehicles or $75 for plug-in hybrid vehicles, capped at the additional fee rate. Vehicle owners would opt-in to a program that would be managed by a contractor that would allow for the collection of information related to cumulative miles traveled.
