Drivers could register their vehicles for two years at a time under a GOP-backed bill that passed its initial vote in the House on Tuesday, but they’ll still be socked with late fees if they don’t re-register on time, The Denver Post reports.

House Bill 1268 sparked a tussle over controversial late fees that have irked many drivers since they took hold a year ago. House lawmakers gave the legislation initial approval Tuesday.

Sponsor Rep. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, said the bill will make life easier for county clerks and recorders and cut down on traffic, wait times and other headaches at local clerks’ offices.
