As part of the governor’s plan, the administration will eliminate or reduce more than 100 fees, including trimming a $15 to $25 charge for homeless identification cards to $1, lowering the cost of vehicle-emissions tests by $4 at the state’s new self-serve kiosks, and decreasing licensing fees for scores of industries ranging from veterinary medicine and car dealerships to food manufacturing and real estate.
Hogan (R) said none of the cuts will require legislative approval. He called on state lawmakers to make further reductions in areas where their approval would be needed.
