Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill creates a dedicated fund specifically for money collected from motor vehicle licensing fees, rather than having those fees flow into the general budget. The fund can be used for specific purposes related to motor vehicle regulation, and any unspent money at the end of the year rolls over instead of being lost. This gives the motor vehicle commission more stable, ongoing funding from year to year. Who it may affect: businesses and individuals involved in motor vehicle sales and licensing, such as dealerships and manufacturers regulated under Kentucky's motor vehicle laws.
