HOUSE BILL NO. 1716 Offered January 10, 2007 Prefiled December 18, 2006 A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding in Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 33.1 a section numbered 33.1-223.2:17, relating to calculation, imposition, and collection of certain fees by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. ---------- Patron-- Marshall, R.G. ---------- Referred to Committee on Transportation ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 33.1 a section numbered 33.1-223.2:17 as follows:

§ 33.1-223.2:17. Board to calculate, impose, and collect a fee for damage done to highways by certain vehicles.

The Commonwealth Transportation Board shall annually impose a fee on every vehicle required to be weighed at weigh stations located along the highways of the Commonwealth. The proceeds of the fee shall be paid into the Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund and be used exclusively for maintenance of state highways. The amount of the fee shall be based on the difference between the amount received annually by the Commonwealth from the federal government for highway maintenance and the annual cost to the Commonwealth of repairing damage done to the highways of the Commonwealth by vehicles subject to the fee. The precise amount of the fee and the method of payment shall be determined by the Board. The fee shall be imposed on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis. No vehicle upon which a fee is assessed shall be operated on any highway of the Commonwealth if the fee has not been paid in full on or before the date upon which payment of the fee is due.
