    This document summarizes a bill that would expand county wheelage taxes in Minnesota. It would allow all counties to levy the tax, not just metropolitan counties. The maximum annual tax per vehicle would increase from $5 to $20 starting in 2014. The bill also removes the exemption for electric-assisted bicycles and changes how tax proceeds are distributed to counties directly from the registrar rather than through the state commissioner of management and budget.

    Author: Prepared By: Senator Jim Carlson Bonnie Berezovsky, Senate Counsel (651/296-9191) Krista Boyd, Senate Fiscal Analyst (651/296-7681) March 8, 2013

    Date:

    Section 1, subdivision 1, broadens the county wheelage tax to apply to all counties in the state, not only metropolitan counties. The maximum annual tax is increased from $5 to $20, beginning in calendar year 2014. The section removes the exemption from the wheelage tax for electric-assisted bicycles. Subdivision 2 deletes the requirement that the proceeds of the wheelage tax must be paid to the Commissioner of Management and Budget for deposit to the credit of the countys wheelage tax fund. Subdivision 2a makes conforming changes. Subdivision 3 directs the registrar of motor vehicles to issue a monthly warrant in favor of each county that levies the wheelage tax. Current law directs the Commissioner of Management and Budget to issue a warrant each year for this purpose. Subdivision 4 makes technical and conforming changes. Subdivision 6 a definition of metropolitan county, is stricken. Subdivision 7 makes technical changes. BB/KB:rer
