HB 645 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

TRANSPORTATION DEPT: Moves responsibility for the collection of the electric and hybrid vehicle fee from the Department of Revenue to the office of motor vehicles

HB 645 transfers the responsibility for collecting fees on electric and hybrid vehicles from the Department of Revenue to the Office of Motor Vehicles. The bill achieves this by repealing a specific section of state law that currently assigns this duty to the revenue department. This change directly affects how these fees are processed and collected, shifting the administrative task to the agency that issues vehicle registrations.
