California motorists face $20 average rise under 1971 bills
California lawmakers approved measures to raise vehicle taxes and fees totaling about $270 million a year, largely for local government use such as removing junked cars and funding mass transit. The plan expands the state sales tax to gasoline, adds 2.65 percent to vehicle value tax, and increases registration by $1 to fund roadside cleanups, with a $3.25 license fee for color photo licenses.
