SENATE BILL NO. 132 "An Act relating to motor vehicle registration fees." 8:58:25 AM TALLY TEAL, STAFF, SENATOR ANNA FAIRCLOUGH, offered the sponsor statement for SB 132(copy on file): Currently, Alaska Statute 28.10.411 exempts a resident from a vehicle registration fee if they are over the age of 65; however, the statute requires the resident to be 65 "on January 1 of the year the vehicle is registered." This requirement disqualifies individuals who turn 65 later in the year from receiving the same benefit as their peers. Senate Bill 132 will allow any resident who is 65 years old at the time of registration to take advantage of this fee exemption. It is important that we clarify the intent to provide a lifetime vehicle registration to Alaskans when they reach age 65. 8:59:43 AM Senator Dunleavy asked if there were a minimal numbers of vehicles that could be registered. Ms. Teal replied that there was a maximum number: 1 vehicle. 9:00:32 AM Senator Olson offered a conflict of interest because he was over 65 years old. 9:00:48 AM Senator Olson asked how many people would be affected by the bill. Ms. Teal responded that the number was unknown. She said that there were just over 32,000 people who currently had a vehicle registered under the exemption. 9:01:16 AM Senator Olson wondered whether there would be undue hardship caused by not passing the bill. Ms. Teal replied that she did not know. Senator Dunleavy queried the current cost of vehicle registration. Ms. Teal replied that it was $100 per vehicle. 9:01:51 AM AMY ERICKSON, DIRECTOR DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES, DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION (via teleconference), explained that 32,425 seniors currently took advantage of the senior exemption. She clarified that the registration fee was $100, every two years, and did not include the motor vehicle registration tax imposed in 16 communities across the state. Senator Dunleavy understood that the $100 fee was charges per every qualifying senior. Ms. Erickson responded that every Alaskan was charged $100 for vehicle registration, including seniors, unless they took an exemption on one of their vehicles. 9:03:03 AM Senator Dunleavy wondered how much the vehicle registration fee grossed in 2013. Ms. Erickson said she would get back to the committee with the information. Senator Olson wondered about married couples qualifying if a spouse was below the age of 65. Ms. Erickson responded that every senior would be entitled one vehicle exemption. Vice-Chair Fairclough CLOSED public testimony. 9:05:01 AM Vice-Chair Fairclough looked at the zero fiscal note attached to the bill. She felt that the fiscal note should be considered "indeterminate." 9:05:37 AM Senator Bishop MOVED to REPORT SB 132 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. CS SB 132 (STA) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation and with previously published zero fiscal note: FN1 (ADM). 9:05:57 AM AT EASE 9:12:54 AM RECONVENED
