88.2. A contribution of motorists to public transit is hereby established.
Every motorist whose address as entered in the registers of the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec corresponds to a place situated in the territory of any of the municipalities and Indian reserves listed in Schedule A is bound to pay a contribution. For the purposes of this division and of Schedule A, an Indian settlement is considered a reserve.
The motorist shall pay the contribution upon making payment of the sums exigible for obtaining the registration or of the amounts exigible under section 31.1 of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2). A motorist may request the reimbursement of a part of his contribution in the circumstances and on the conditions prescribed by a regulation made pursuant to paragraph 11.0.1 of section 618 of the Highway Safety Code. However, no reimbursement is exigible with respect to a change of address.
However, the Government may, by regulation and according to the conditions it establishes, exempt motorists who benefit from diplomatic, consular or similar privileges or immunities from paying the contribution.
