                                SB 1350
    
    PURPOSE:
    
    This legislation will amend Section 49-411, Idaho Code, to increase the annual fee 
    for dealer and manufacturer license plates and registration stickers from $5.00 to 
    $12.00. The $5.00 fee has been in place since the 1970's. This fee adjustment 
    parallels a 240% increase in passenger vehicle registration fees over the same 
    period.
    
    FISCAL NOTE:
    
    Approximately 10,700 dealer plate and sticker fees are collected each year. This 
    legislation is expected to generate an estimated $75,000 per year in additional 
    revenue for the state highway account.
