Introduced Text

Illinois SB1248 reduces the annual surcharge for electric motorcycle registration from $100 to $50 starting in 2026.

Illinois SB1248 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to adjust the annual surcharge for electric motorcycle registration. Starting with the 2026 registration year, owners of electric motorcycles will pay a $50 surcharge, down from the current $100. This change does not affect the registration fee for other electric vehicles, which remains at $100. The surcharge is deposited into the Secretary of State Special Services Fund and the Road Fund. The bill aims to align the surcharge for electric motorcycles with other electric vehicles.
