HB1034

The amendment substantially expands the bill from a narrow focus on decal mailing fees to a comprehensive overhaul of mailing fees across multiple vehicle registration types, adding new fees for license plates ($12 per set), increasing decal fees to $2.50, and applying these charges to dealer registrations for agricultural permits, commercial vehicles, and other vehicle classes. This **broadens** the bill's original purpose to capture mailing surcharges across the entire vehicle registration system rather than just decals for individual owners.

The bill was moved from the House to the Senate (changing the chamber designation), and multiple mailing fees for decals and license plates were increased: decal fees rose from one dollar and fifty cents to two dollars and fifty cents across several sections, license plate fees were set at twelve dollars, and permit mailing fees increased from one dollar to two dollars and fifty cents. This STRENGTHENS the bill's original purpose of increasing fees by raising the amounts collected across all affected vehicle registration and licensing categories.

The amendment restructured the bill's fee language for clarity and consistency, changing wording from "collect from" to "charge" and reorganizing how mailing fees are presented, while maintaining the core fee increases (e.g., raising decal mailing fees from $1.50 to $2.50 and adding a $12 license plate mailing fee). The substantive changes to vehicle registration and licensing fees remain intact, so this is primarily a technical cleanup of the engrossed version without altering the bill's original purpose of increasing mailing fees.
