SB 5893: RTA MVET administration

Concerning the administration of motor vehicle excise taxes by regional transit authorities.

Summary

  • Requires a Regional Transit Authority (RTA) to establish a motor vehicle excise tax (MVET) market value adjustment program (MVAP).
  • The amount of a credit under the MVAP is the difference between the current MVET and an assumed MVET of 0.5 percent based on base model Kelley Blue Book values or National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) values, whichever is lower.
  • Requires Department of Licensing ( DOL) to only contract with an RTA for collection of an MVET if it has implemented a MVAP, and any contract with an RTA must provide DOL with full cost recovery.
