STATEMENT
This bill exempts county colleges from paying the registration fee for motor vehicles not used for pleasure or hire. A county college is defined as an educational institution established by one or more counties, offering programs of instruction, extending not more than two years beyond high school, which may include, but not be limited to, specialized or comprehensive curriculums, including college credit transfer courses, terminal courses in the liberal arts and sciences, and technical institute type programs.
Under current law, certain State and local government entities and civic organizations are exempted from paying a motor vehicle registration fee. This bill extends that exemption to county colleges.
