A. At the time of vehicle registration, every person who is required to register a motor vehicle in this state pursuant to section 28-2153 shall pay, in addition to the registration fee, an annual sustainable state parks fee of nine dollars. This subsection does not apply to the registration of a commercial motor vehicle as defined in section 28-601.
