Motor Vehicle Commission Fees On The Rise

Despite receiving more than 900 comments from angry motorcycle riders, the state Motor Vehicle Commission's board Tuesday voted to increase more than two dozen of its fees effective July 6. The move is projected to generate $40 million to $60 million in added revenue for the state. Part of that will help close a projected $27 million deficit in the MVC's budget, but another $20 million will help balance the state budget for the coming year. Fees for copies of documents such as driver history abstracts and suspension or violation notices are rising to $15 from between $4 and $10 today. Fees for driver improvement and probationary driver programs rise from $100 to $150. Boat ownership certificates jump to $60 from $20 or $30. Commercial driver license exam permit fees go from $35 to $125. Read the full article from the app here.
