HF 2578: Relating to registration and titling of certain trailers

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, farm trailers are not subject to an annual registration fee. In addition, trailers for which the empty weight is 2,000 pounds or less are exempt from the certificate of title and lien provisions of Code chapter 321 (motor vehicles and law of the road). This bill strikes the certificate of title and lien provisions exemption for trailers weighing 2,000 pounds or less. The fee for issuance of a certificate of title is $30 and a county treasurer is required to add a $5 surcharge.
