Many of Idaho’s motor vehicle department fees, such as those for titles and licenses, haven’t been raised in more than 20 years, Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell, told the Senate, arguing for his amendment to add about $13 million in such fee increases to HB 96, the bill that already increases highway funding by eliminating a fuel tax exemption for ethanol. “The dollars now are actually being taken away from the road maintenance to do to these types of things,” said Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Boise, co-sponsor of the amendment. “We’re trying to get to a break-even on these fees.”
