5001-8000 lbs. $55.20 ($4.60 per month)
8001-73,280 lbs. $.96 per hundred lbs. gross weight.*
(h) Truck-tractors to be used in conjunction with a semi-trailer, gross weight shall include the weight of such tractors, the weight of the heaviest semi-trailer to be used therewith, and the weight of the maximum load to be carried thereby: up to 73,280 pounds $.96 per 100 pounds gross weight, over 73,280 pounds-$1.44 shall be charged for each 100 pounds gross weight or portion thereof in excess of 73,280 pounds.
2 New Section; Adjustment of Registration Fees; Expenditure. Amend RSA 261 by inserting after section 141-b the following new section:
261:141-c Adjustment of Motor Vehicle Registration Fees; Expenditure.
I. Beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, the motor vehicle registration fees described in RSA 261:141, III(g) shall be adjusted annually as follows:
(a) The previous year's registration fees for motor vehicles and trucks, as defined in RSA 261:141, III(g) and (h), shall each be increased by 2.4 percent.
(b) The registration fee calculated pursuant to subparagraph (a) shall first be multiplied by the gross vehicle weight factor, which shall be a fraction, the numerator being the gross vehicle weight and the denominator being 4,500 pounds. The resulting value shall then be multiplied by a term which shall be equal to one plus a fraction, the numerator being the vehicle miles traveled factor, and denominator being 4. The vehicle miles traveled factor shall be a fraction where the numerator is the difference between the vehicle miles traveled as indicated on the vehicle's odometer at the time of registration and the vehicle miles traveled at the time the vehicle was last registered and the denominator being 12,000 miles. The odometer reading shall be recorded from the annual official vehicle inspection report that is reported to the department of safety.
(c) In the event a new car is being registered for the first time, the registration fee shall be calculated in the same manner as in subparagraph (a), except that a value of .0042 shall be substituted for the vehicle miles traveled factor.
(d) In the event a person seeking to register his or her car does not provide accurate mileage information at the time of registration, a value of 2 shall be substituted for the vehicle miles traveled factor.
II. Beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, municipal agents may collect $2 from each motor vehicle registration processed to offset administrative costs associated with such registrations. The department of transportation shall use 5 percent of the total remaining fees collected pursuant to RSA 261:141, III(g) and (h) solely for implementation of Type II noise abatement projects on both the highway and turnpike systems. The remainder of the fees collected shall be deposited into the highway fund. When all pending Type II noise abatement projects have been completed, all fees collected pursuant to RSA 261:141, III(g) and (h) shall be deposited into the highway fund.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect July 1, 2020.
