Many of us Californians are receiving renewal notices for our OHV registration. I was surprised to see the $52. charge instead of the $50 that was agreed to with the passage of SB742.

Thanks to information forwarded by the OHMVR Division, this is where the extra $2.00 came from on our OHV registrations:

Contained in SB1055, year 2003:

SEC. 3. Section 1678 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
1678. (a) Between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2004,
inclusive, the fee amounts set forth in Section 488.385 of the Code
of Civil Procedure, Section 10902 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,
and Sections 4604, 5014, 5036, 6700.25, 9102.5, 9250.8, 9250.13,
9252, 9254, 9258, 9261, 9265, 9702, 11515, 11515.2, 12814.5, 14900,
14900.1, 14901, 14902, 38121, 38225.4, 38225.5, 38232, 38255, 38260,
and 38265 shall be the base fee amounts charged by the department.
(b) On January 1, 2005, and every January 1 thereafter, the
department shall adjust the fees imposed under the sections listed in
subdivision (a) by increasing each fee in an amount equal the
increase in the California Consumer Price Index for the prior year,
as calculated by the Department of Finance, with amounts equal to or
greater than fifty cents ($0.50) rounded to the next highest whole
dollar.

CVC 38225.4. and CVC 38225.5. Contain the language for the TWO $3.00 fees paid by OHV registration for the highway patrol. These two sections of the vehicle code have not been updated to show the $1.00 each increase.

A buck here, a buck there... no wonder I'm friggin' broke.

The scary part is... the moho registration is coming up...

I need to start saving our nickels, dimes, quarters, and 2 dollar bills! All of our non-off-road registrations are due between January and April. No Xmas this year!
