SB 76: Vehicles: registration fees and penalties.

The bill aims to modify California's vehicle registration fees and penalties. It would allow the department of motor vehicles to waive delinquent registration fees and penalties when a buyer applies for a transfer of registration, as long as the fees became due or penalties accrued before the purchase of the vehicle. This waiver would be determined by the department, and a system would be created to collect these delinquent fees and penalties from the seller. The bill would repeal the existing provision allowing the department to collect waived fees and penalties through civil action. These changes would take effect on January 1, 2030.
