    On page 15, after line 26, insert the following:

    "(16) $93,124,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation and $2,048,000 of the motor vehicle account--private/local appropriation are provided solely for motor vehicle-related activities, including the collection of motor vehicle excise taxes for a regional transit authority, and related call center support staff.  Important reforms related to the collection of motor vehicle excise taxes for a regional transit authority are included in Senate Bill No. 5893, affecting the department's workload and interaction with millions of vehicle owners.  Therefore, if chapter . . . (Senate Bill No. 5893), Laws of 2017 (regional transit authority motor vehicle excise tax administration) is not enacted by June 30, 2017, the department may not contract with a regional transit authority to collect any motor vehicle excise taxes."

EFFECT: Conditions the Department of Licensing's authority to contract with a regional transit authority for the collection of a motor vehicle excise tax on the enactment of SB 5893 (regional transit authority motor vehicle excise tax administration).  

FISCAL IMPACT: No net change to appropriated levels.
