Trailer Owners Await Action on Stuart, Bourne Bills
In 2019, the fee for licensing a small trailer in Illinois jumped from $18 to $118.
The $100 fee increase was included in Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s 2019 Rebuild Illinois capital infrastructure plan which funds road, bridge and building projects throughout the state. A House Revenue and Finance Committee on Thursday discussed what steps could be taken to lower the fee amid a bipartisan push to do so.
House Bill 36, sponsored by Rep. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville, would lower the small trailer fee back to $18. The committee discussed but did not vote on the matter Thursday.
“I’ve been talking to constituents and folks, getting emails and phone calls about how the massive increase has really hurt some small businesses and local drivers,” Stuart said.
