The WA Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed regulations adjusting motor vehicle license fees following an Auditor General's report on over-recovery of costs. The committee scrutinized the Road Traffic (Fees for Vehicle Licences) Regulations (No.2) 2004 and Road Traffic (Licensing) Amendment Regulations (No.4) 2004, focusing on whether fees were actually taxes. Ultimately, the committee did not recommend disallowance.
