This bill amends RCW 46.17.350 to establish a vehicle license fee schedule by vehicle type using an included fee table that sets initial and renewal fees and cites RCW references for how fees are distributed. It increases the snowmobile registration fee from $50.00 to $75.00 and the snowmobile (vintage) fee from $12.00 to $18.00. The bill states the vehicle license fee is in addition to the filing fee under RCW 46.17.005 and any other legally required fees or taxes. Legally, the bill modifies an existing statute (RCW 46.17.350) and adds a new section specifying that the act applies to registrations due or becoming due on or after September 30, 2026. It creates a procedural requirement that the department, county auditors, and appointed agents and subagents must collect the specified vehicle license fee before accepting a vehicle registration application. The fee table includes a "Distributed Under" column referencing other RCWs (e.g., RCW 46.68.030; 46.68.035; 46.68.045; 46.68.350; 46.09.540; 46.09.510), but the chunk does not explain how those distributions operate. The Parks and Recreation Commission is identified as the requester. The text provided does not name the specific department or director referenced, does not define terms such as "vintage" for snowmobile, and does not explain the mechanics of the fee distributions cited in the table. The bill was read for the first time on 02/09/26.

If enacted, the bill replaces the current license schedule with a fee table that sets specific initial and renewal vehicle license fees by vehicle type and requires the responsible department, county auditors, agents, and subagents to collect those fees before accepting registration applications. For owners, the clearest direct change is higher costs for snowmobile registrations: the regular snowmobile fee rises from $50 to $75 and the vintage snowmobile fee from $12 to $18; those increases are in addition to the existing filing fee and any other taxes. The change takes effect for registrations due on or after September 30, 2026. County auditors, registration agents, and the unnamed state department will have the added responsibility of collecting and remitting the newly set amounts, and registrants of the listed vehicle types will see their upfront registration costs change accordingly. The fee table links revenue distribution to several RCWs, but this document does not name the department or explain exactly how the increased dollars will be allocated, and it does not define terms like “vintage,” so the ultimate recipients and some administrative details remain unclear.
