House approves DMV fee hike
The House has voted 52-13 in favor of HB 334, which raises an array of DMV fees by a total of $13.1 million a year. Rep. Marv Hagedorn, R-Meridian, told the House the Idaho Transportation Department had provided plenty of data to show the increase was warranted; House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, the bill's floor sponsor, said many of the fees haven't been increased in decades. The bill now goes to the Senate, which earlier passed a different bill that included the same increases; that measure died in the House.
