Pursuant

registration
plate
issued
by
a
county

Under
the

bill,
a

vehicle
other

25
The

current
date
by
which
the

and
29
funds
transfers

30
Current
law
provides
that,
in
addition
to
the
annual
31
registration
fee,
a
fee
for

is
imposed
32
in
the
amount
of
5

Lastly,
the
bill
changes
the
amounts
of
certain
fees
a
county
5
treasurer
may
retain
for
deposit
in
the
county
general
fund.

The

$16
from
each
fee

collected
for
perfection
of

interests,
and
$11
from
9
each
