AB 658: Vehicles: registration fees.

Existing law requires a registration fee to be paid to the Department of Motor Vehicles for the registration of each vehicle or trailer coach of a type subject to registration under the Vehicle Code, except those vehicles that are expressly exempted from the payment of registration fees.

This bill would require the department, if there is an increase in the registration fee described above, to complete and post an affordability impact analysis on its internet website within 6 months of the date that the increase becomes effective. The bill would require the affordability impact analysis to include, among other things, the average increase in annual vehicle registration costs over the past 5 years and the total number of vehicles with delinquent registrations.
