EFFECT:   Makes the following changes to the alternative fuel vehicle retail sales and use tax exemption:

(2) Eliminates the Department of Licensing requirement to maintain a list of the models that may qualify for this exemption and determine the lowest MSRP for each model for the purpose of establishing whether the model qualifies for the exemption based on its MSRP.
