HB 1322: Off-road vehicle enforcement

Addressing off-road vehicle and snowmobile registration enforcement.

Summary

  • Modifies the Washington off-road vehicle (ORV) registration and use reciprocity provision to exclude residents from a state that does not impose a sales and use tax on transactions involving ORVs.
  • Allows a person that is a resident of another state to register an ORV in Washington without paying a registration fee, if the person presents an unexpired driver's license and a current ORV registration from the other state when registering.
  • Requires the Department of Licensing and the Department of Revenue to jointly send out a letter to a Washington resident who purchased an ORV or snowmobile warranty in the preceding year, but has not registered the vehicle in Washington, notifying the owner of the obligation to register and of the penalty for failure to register.
  • Establishes a gross misdemeanor for registering an ORV or a snowmobile in another state to avoid sales and use taxes and, for second and subsequent offenses, requires a fine equal to four times the amount of avoided taxes and fees.
