AIR QUALITY TESTING FEE. A city or county which administers an 11 air quality program established by ordinance for the inspection and readjust- 12 ment of motor vehicles as part of an approved state implementation plan 13 adopted by the state and submitted to the federal government under 42 U.S.C. 14 Sec. 7410, may contract with the department for the collection, distribution 15 and administration of the fee for such program in a like manner and under the 16 definitions and rules for the collection and administration of other registra- 17 tion fees as set forth in chapter 4, title 49, Idaho Code. Such fee shall not 18 exceed the actual cost budgeted by the city or county for the administration 19 of the program and in no case shall exceed twelve dollars ($12.00) per vehicle 20 per annum. Each month, following receipt by the department of revenues from 21 the motor vehicle inspection and readjustment fee, the department shall remit 22 the same to the city or county implementing such fee, less a deduction from 23 such amount for the department's actual costs for collection and administra- 24 tion of the fee, but not to exceed one and one-half percent (1 1/2%). Fees 25 collected under this section shall be separately identified and accounted for 26 and paid monthly to the city or county and shall not become part of the state 27 highway account or the state highway distribution account.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08706
This bill would allow the collection of a fee for administration of an air quality
program (in counties which operate such programs - currently only Ada County) at the time
of registration of a vehicle rather than upon vehicle inspection. This bill would allow for the
modernization of the air quality program to permit vehicle inspections by remote sensing
devices which would eliminate the inconvenience to many motorists of annual vehicle
inspections.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact to the general fund. The bill would not increase fees to vehicle
owners. The bill would capture approximately $10,000.00 per year in unpaid air quality
program fees.
