SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION. 77
(By Senators Unger, Jenkins, Deem, Facemyer, Fanning, Love and

[Originating in the Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study
providing an exemption for new residents from payment of the
privilege tax imposed on vehicles.
Whereas, There is a privilege tax imposed on certificates of
title of each vehicle; and
Whereas, There is no exemption for applicants who are not
residents at the time the vehicle was purchased and a similar tax
paid to another state; and
Whereas, An exemption for the privilege tax would impact the
revenue of the Department of Transportation; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study providing an exemption for new residents from
payment of the privilege tax imposed on vehicles; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance review and recommend possible alternative funding sources to assist the Department of Transportation, including the
allocation of personal property taxes derived from motor vehicles;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance explore other enforcement strategies to assure compliance
with state motor vehicle registration laws; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2007, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
