For registration of vehicles subject to the registration fees imposed by Sections 66-6-2 and 66-6-4 NMSA 1978, there is imposed an additional fee of two dollars ($2.00) for each twelve-month period for which a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight under twenty-six thousand pounds is registered. Amounts collected pursuant to this section are appropriated to the department and may be expended in fiscal year 2010 and subsequent fiscal years for the purposes of enforcing the provisions of the Mandatory Financial Responsibility Act [66-5-201 to 66-5-239 NMSA 1978] and for creating and maintaining a multilanguage noncommercial driver's license testing program. After those purposes are met, the balance of the registration fees collected pursuant to this section shall be used by the department to defray the costs of operating the motor vehicle division and for the purposes set forth in the provisions of Subsection F of Section 66-6-13 NMSA 1978. At the end of a fiscal year, unexpended and unencumbered balances of the amounts collected pursuant to this section shall not revert to the general fund.
