Title

Motor vehicles, farm tags for truck tractors, provision limiting a farmer to one farm tag for truck tractors deleted, Sec. 40-12-248 am'd.

Summary

HB60 would remove the limit that a farmer can have only one farm tag for truck tractors used to transport farm products.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 40-12-248 to delete the restriction that a farmer may pay a reduced tax and registration fee for only one truck tractor. This would allow a farmer to obtain farm tags for more than one truck tractor used to transport farm products. Tax for each tagged vehicle would follow the weight-based base and additional amounts schedule, with the farm-use tag framework applying to each tractor; the act becomes effective immediately after passage.

Who It Affects

• Farmers who own and operate more than one truck tractor used to transport farm products (they could obtain farm tags for multiple tractors).
• County license offices and other licensing authorities (they would administer and enforce the issuance of multiple farm tags and the associated weight-based tax calculations).

Key Provisions

• Deletes the limitation that a farmer can receive a reduced annual license tax and registration fee for only one truck tractor used to transport farm products.
• Maintains the weight-based tax structure for trucks/truck tractors (base and additional amounts) and the related maximums for farm-use vehicles, with tags issued for each eligible tractor.
• For each truck tractor used to transport farm products, the annual license tax and registration fee are determined according to the base and additional weight-based schedules; the farm-use reduced-rate limitation would no longer restrict the number of farm tags a farmer may obtain.
• Effective date: the act becomes effective immediately following passage and approval.
