INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

                        JANUARY 27, 2014

   An act to amend Section 9250 of the Vehicle Code, relating to
vehicles.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 918, as introduced, Gaines. Vehicle registration.
   Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to charge a
registration fee of $31 on every vehicle or trailer coach, as
specified, registered prior to July 1, 2011, and to charge a
registration fee of $43 on every vehicle or trailer coach, as
specified, registered on or after July 1, 2011. Existing law further
provides that the proceeds collected from increasing the registration
fee from $31 to $43 be used only in connection with the regulation
of vehicles.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
