Senator Suzanne Williams, sponsor, presented House Bill 12-1038, which was recommended by the Transportation Legislation Review Committee. The bill establishes a permanent registration for Class A trailers and semitrailers. In order to qualify for the permanent registration, an owner must either be based outside of Colorado, or if the owner is based in Colorado, then the trailer must be at least 10 years old. The new registration is permanent, but expires when the trailer or semtrailer transfers ownership. Senator Williams distributed information about fees assessed for the registration of commercial semitrailers in other states (Attachment D).
