I am thinking about buying a new car, does anyone knows when the new sale tax and the new license fee will kick in???

Should I run to the dealer and buy all the cars I can afford ???

That version of the bill also contained the fuel tax, which has been removed, but I don't think there were any changes to effective dates for the VLF and sales tax.
