HB 371 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Elmore County, to create motor vehicle and watercraft registration fees and provide for distribution of funds.

HB 371 creates a new motor vehicle registration fee for vehicles registered in Elmore County, with all collected fees distributed directly to Elmore County funds. The bill sets an annual 1% fee increase starting January 1 each year and requires the Revenue Commissioner to collect the fees. This bill directly affects all vehicle owners registering in Elmore County, as it establishes a new local fee with automatic annual adjustments. The policy change modifies existing registration fee structures to generate dedicated county revenue, with no specified use beyond distribution to the county.

The most significant substantive change is the addition of a provision requiring the annual motor vehicle registration fee to increase by one dollar on January 1 of each year, starting in 2026. This ensures the fee keeps pace with inflation or costs over time. The rest of the bill, including the fee amount, distribution percentages, and effective date, remained unchanged.
