Owners of smaller trailers could see a drop in fines when they’re late in registering non-motorized vehicles, and other Coloradans could get a chance to argue for a late-fee waiver.
Two Democrat-backed bills aimed at those goals passed a Senate committee Wednesday, while three GOP-supported proposals that would have more drastically reduced fines died.
Sen. Suzanne Williams, D-Aurora, co-sponsored House Bill 1211, which would drop from $100 to $10 the late fine on trailers weighing less than 2,000 pounds.
The second successful bill, by Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass Village, allows the state Department of Revenue to develop rules for a late-fee appeal process for drivers who are late for reasons beyond their control.
