Under an agreement reached by the House and Senate, legislation that threatened to increase annual registration fees by $25 for all motor vehicles was reduced to $21 and sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law. Originally passed by the House as a $15 increase, the bill was amended and passed by the Senate as a $25 increase. Registration fees for vehicles of all types and ages would be raised by $21.

The bill makes no special exception for hobby cars such as kits, classics, old timers, reconstructed, replica, specially constructed and street rods that constitute a small portion of the vehicle fleet, are infrequently operated and deserving of lower registration fees.
