HI HB2168

Expands the categories of fees that rental car companies can recover from customers by defining a new "vehicle license recovery fee" that includes motor vehicle weight taxes, registration fees for specially constructed/reconstructed/rebuilt vehicles, special interest vehicle registration fees, imported vehicle registration fees, license plate fees, and use taxes.

Replaces the previous proration method (which calculated fees over 365 days) with a simpler approach allowing rental car companies to charge vehicle license recovery fees to all lessees as long as the total charged does not exceed the actual annual fees paid by the rental company for that particular vehicle.

Requires rental car companies to provide lessees with the option to pay license plate fees and use taxes separately as part of the vehicle license recovery fee structure.

Takes effect July 1, 2050, with provisions ensuring the amendments are not repealed when section 437D-8.4 is reenacted on December 31, 2027, per previous legislative sunset provisions.
