SB 18-196
signedRepeal Late Vehicle Registration Fee
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedSenate Bill 18-196, which has been signed into law, removes a late fee that car owners had to pay if they registered their vehicle after the deadline. Previously, drivers would have to pay $25 for each month or part of a month their registration was overdue, with a maximum cap of $100. This new law means that starting January 1, 2019, late registrants won't be charged this fee anymore. The bill affects all vehicle owners in Colorado who might have missed the registration deadline. Since it has been signed, the change is now official and will take effect as scheduled.
Official Summary
Under current law, if the owner of a motor vehicle fails to register the vehicle when required the owner must, upon registering the vehicle and subject to a $100 cap, pay a late fee of $25 for each month or portion of a month for which the registration is late. The bill repeals the late fee, effective January 1, 2019.
