Alabama Senate weighs higher auto tag costs proposal
The Alabama Senate committee considered a proposal from the Alabama Automobile Association to raise automobile tag fees above the House approved scale. The measure would set tags from $6 to $18, after adjusting for weight limits, with state revenue projected around 2.4 million dollars yearly. Alabama officials and city representatives opposed some changes, arguing impacts on municipalities and interstate fuel purchases. The session also discussed jury duty secrecy, county home rule postponement, and legal code revisions sent to a subcommittee.
