Effect on campers and boat trailers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread

I have supported this idea, and contributed to your campaign but am unclear how this initiative will affect my $60 camper tab and my $18 boat trailer tab, not to mention my $9 moped tab and boat itself. Will they be increased to $30 if currently less? Are campers and RVs and boats included in the change?

I was concerned about this too. The initiative only provides the $30 rate for tabs, to cars, sport utility vehicles, motorcycles, and motorhomes. Apparently trucks over 4,000 GVW pay tonnage charges from a section of the license laws that are not repealed by 695. Everything else pays the "Other" charge, on the registration bill; at least according to Monte Benham, one of the co-chairmen of the Yes campaign. I have not investigated this myself, but when it was posted no one contradicted him. I rate the confidence level of the information as moderate.
