State Senate debates broadened auto license bill
The Buckman bill amends the highway department powers and raises fees for pneumatic and solid tire motor licenses. New rules expand what counts as a motor vehicle and increase registration tags, with rates from 5 to 25 dollars by horsepower, plus added charges for freight and passenger hauling. The measure also tightens license eligibility, bars operation by the mentally or physically impaired, and sets dealer tag minimums.
