Starting Monday, car registration fees in Maryland will be going up. The increase is the first in two decades. It’s one of hundreds of laws taking effect on July 1st after the General Assembly approved them earlier this year, after which Gov. Wes Moore signed them into law.

The vehicle registration fee for most passenger cars — paid every two years by Maryland drivers — goes up to $221 from its current $135. That includes a $23 raise — $46 every two years — in the surcharge that goes to emergency medical services in Maryland. HB1439/SB1092 directs the new money into three areas in particular:

Supporters say the additional money raised from hiking the surcharge is needed to ensure emergency trauma care in Maryland operates at the highest standard. The fee hikes make Maryland’s registration the highest amongst its neighbors:

Another new law taking effect Monday increases penalties for lapsing in auto insurance. HB1482 raises the penalty from $150 to $200 for the first month a driver lets insurance lapse, while the maximum yearly fine goes from $2500 to $3500. SB943 takes effect Monday as well and will also affect drivers. All jurisdictions that have cameras that monitor dedicated bus lanes will be able to use them to enforce penalties for drivers who use them illegally. Previously, only the city of Baltimore had the power to do that.
