 "NEW SECTION. Sec. 12. A new section is added to chapter 46.16 RCW to read as follows:

In lieu of the license tab fees provided in RCW 46.16.0621, private use single-axle trailers of two thousand pounds scale weight or less may be licensed upon the payment of a license fee in the sum of fifteen dollars, but only if the trailer is operated upon public highways. The license fee must be collected annually for each registration year or fraction of a registration year. This reduced license fee applies only to trailers operated for personal use of the owners, and not trailers held for rental to the public or used in any commercial or business endeavor. The fee from this section must be deposited in the state patrol highway account."

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 15. Section 12 of this act is effective with registration fees that are due or will become due January 1, 2005, and thereafter."

Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
