Idaho Introduces Bills to Increase Registration Fees

Two pieces of legislation (H.B. 341/338) have been introduced in the Idaho State Legislature to increase annual registration fees for motor vehicles having a gross weight of 8,000 pounds or less.  The fee increase would vary depending on the age of the vehicle.

We Urge You to Contact Members of the Idaho House Transportation and Defense Committee (List Below) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 341 and H.B. 338

  • H.B. 341 and H.B. 338 would increase the annual registration fees from $48 to $96 for vehicles 1-2 years old; from $36 to $72 for vehicles 3-4 years old; from $36 to $72 for vehicles 5-6 years old; from $24 to $48 for vehicles 7-8 years old; and from $24 to $48 for vehicles over 8 years old.
     
  • H.B. 341 and H.B. 338 make no special exception for hobby cars such as kits, classics, old timers, reconstructed, replica, specially constructed and street rods that constitute a small portion of the vehicle fleet, are infrequently operated and deserving of lower registration fees. 

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact members of the Idaho House Transportation and Defense Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their opposition to H.B. 341 and H.B. 338.

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.  Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.  Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
