BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican Gov. Doug Burgum has vetoed a bill to raise driver’s license fees for the first time in more than 30 years.In his veto message Friday, Burgum says the increase in fees “imposes an unnecessary additional burden on our residents.”

The Republican-led House and Senate easily passed the legislation that raises commercial and non-commercial driver’s license fees from $15 to $30.

A two-thirds vote in both chambers is needed to override a governor’s veto. Legislative leaders have not signaled if they will challenge the veto.

The Legislature last raised the driver’s license fees in 1987. Several prior attempts to raise the fees have been rebuffed by lawmakers, who called it a tax increase.

The increased fees are expected to raise $5.5 million in a two-year budget cycle.
