HI HB655

Limits required payment of unpaid motor vehicle taxes, fees, and penalties to those incurred during the most recent five consecutive years of delinquency, regardless of overall duration of delinquency.

Applies to vehicles stored and exempt from use under Section 249-5.5, vehicles with delinquent taxes under Section 249-10, and vehicles subject to taxes or fees under Sections 249-31 and 249-33.

Allows residents with vehicles where unpaid taxes and fees exceed vehicle value to renew registration or transfer title by paying only recent five-year obligations, reducing vehicle abandonment.

Takes effect July 1, 3000.
