Task force backs $10 car fee hike

The legislative task force on alternative funding for ISP and state parks has voted unanimously to propose a $10 vehicle registration fee increase to make up the Idaho State Police's lost funding when it loses gas tax funds. The $10 per vehicle increase would raise $15.6 million a year. Now, legislation will be drafted, and the task force will reconvene in the coming weeks to look at it and decide where to direct it for consideration.
