AN ACT

To repeal section 301.067, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to registration of trailers or semitrailers.





Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:


            Section A. Section 301.067, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 301.067, to read as follows:

            301.067. 1. For each trailer or semitrailer there shall be paid an annual fee of seven dollars fifty cents, and in addition thereto such permit fee authorized by law against trailers used in combination with tractors operated under the supervision of the motor carrier and railroad safety division of the department of economic development. The fees for tractors used in any combination with trailers or semitrailers or both trailers and semitrailers (other than on passenger-carrying trailers or semitrailers) shall be computed on the total gross weight of the vehicles in the combination with load.

            2. Any trailer or semitrailer may at the option of the registrant be registered for a period of three years upon payment of a registration fee of twenty-two dollars and fifty cents or be registered permanently upon the payment of a registration fee of fifty-two dollars and fifty cents.

            [3. Any trailer or semitrailer which is operated coupled to a towing vehicle by a fifth wheel and kingpin assembly or by a trailer converter dolly may, at the option of the registrant, be registered permanently upon the payment of a registration fee of fifty-two dollars and fifty cents.] The permanent plate and registration fee is vehicle specific. The plate and the registration fee paid is nontransferable and nonrefundable, except those covered under the provisions of section 301.442.
