The amount of the fee must be based upon the 10 vehicle engine size in liters, which is correlated with vehicle size 11 and vehicle emissions. The fee imposed under this section must be used 12 for transportation purposes, and may not be used for the general 13 support of state government. The vehicle engine displacement fee is 14 that portion of the fee, as reflected on the engine size in liters set 15 forth in the schedule provided in this section, that is in excess of 16 the fees imposed under RCW 46.16.0621 and 46.17.010. For vehicles 17 registered on or after January 1, 2009, the vehicle engine displacement 18 fee under this section is due at the time of initial vehicle 19 registration and any subsequent renewal of vehicle registration. p. 1 SB 6900 1 Engine Size (liters) Rate Schedule 2 Up to 1.9 $0 3 2.0 - 2.9 $70 4 3.0 - 3.9 $225 5 4.0 - 4.9 $275 6 5.0 - 5.9 $325 7 6.0 - 7.9 $400 8 8.0 or over $600 9 (2) For the purpose of administering this section, the department 10 shall rely on the vehicle engine size in liters as provided by vehicle 11 manufacturers, or other sources defined by the department, to determine 12 the engine size in liters of each vehicle. The department shall adopt 13 rules for determining engine size in liters for vehicles that do not 14 have a manufacturer-provided engine size in liters. 15 (3) The vehicle engine displacement fee under this section is 16 imposed to provide funds to mitigate the impact of vehicle loads on the 17 state roads and highways, as well as encourage the reduction of vehicle 18 emissions and is separate and distinct from other vehicle license fees. 19 (4) The vehicle engine displacement fee collected under this 20 section must be deposited into the multimodal transportation account. 21 NEW SECTION.

Fees imposed under this section must 27 be used for transportation purposes, and may not be used for the 28 general support of state government. The vehicle emissions fee is that 29 portion of the fee, as reflected on the grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) 30 emission per mile set forth in the schedule provided in this section, 31 that is in excess of the fees imposed under RCW 46.16.0621 and SB 6900 p. 2 1 46.17.010.

The department shall adopt rules for determining 17 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission per mile for vehicles without 18 manufacturer-provided information on grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) 19 emission per mile. 20 (3) The vehicle emissions fee under this section is imposed to 21 provide funds to mitigate the impact of vehicle loads on the state 22 roads and highways, as well as encourage the reduction of vehicle 23 emissions and is separate and distinct from other vehicle license fees. 24 (4) The vehicle emissions fee collected under this section must be 25 deposited into the multimodal transportation account. 26 NEW SECTION.
