2 2 tax fund to the special conservation fund established under
2 3 section 321G.7 that portion of the moneys collected under this
2 4 chapter which are attributable to motor fuel used in all-
2 5 terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, computed as follows:
2 6 1. Determine annually, during the first full business week
2 7 in April, the total number of all-terrain vehicles and
2 8 snowmobiles which are registered in the state.
2 9 2. Multiply the product of the total number of registered
2 10 all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles and eighty-eight and
2 11 seven-tenths gallons times the amount of the excise tax
2 12 charged per gallon of motor fuel to obtain the total amount of
2 13 excise tax paid on all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile fuel.
2 14 3. Subtract from the total amount of excise tax paid on
2 15 all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile fuel an amount which
2 16 represents three percent of the total tax paid on all-terrain
2 17 vehicle and snowmobile fuel, for payment of the administrative
2 18 costs, which shall be allocated to the department of natural
2 19 resources for administration of all-terrain vehicle and
2 20 snowmobile programs.
2 21 EXPLANATION
2 22 This bill requires that revenue generated from the
2 23 imposition of the excise tax on the motor fuel used by all-
2 24 terrain vehicles and snowmobiles be deposited in the special
2 25 conservation fund. The special conservation fund is used by
2 26 the department of natural resources for all-terrain vehicle
2 27 and snowmobile programs. All-terrain vehicle and snowmobile
2 28 programs are currently funded through all-terrain vehicle and
2 29 snowmobile registration fees. The funds that are generated by
2 30 the excise tax on all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile motor
2 31 fuel are currently being deposited in the motor fuel tax fund.
2 32 A formula for calculation of the amount of revenue
2 33 attributable to motor fuel consumption by all-terrain vehicles
2 34 and snowmobiles is also contained in the bill.
