  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321G.4, unnumbered paragraph 2, Code
  1  2 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    The owner of the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile shall
  1  4 file an application for registration with the appropriate
  1  5 county recorder on forms provided by the commission.  The
  1  6 application shall be completed and signed by the owner of the
  1  7 all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile and shall be accompanied by
  1  8 a fee of twenty dollars and a writing fee.  An all-terrain
  1  9 vehicle or a snowmobile shall not be registered by the county
  1 10 recorder until the county recorder is presented with receipts,
  1 11 bills of sale, or other satisfactory evidence that the sales
  1 12 or use tax has been paid for the purchase of the all-terrain
  1 13 vehicle or snowmobile or that the owner is exempt from paying
  1 14 the tax.  However, an owner of an all-terrain vehicle, except
  1 15 an all-terrain vehicle purchased new on or after January 1,
  1 16 1990, may apply for registration without proof of sales or use
  1 17 tax paid until one year after January 1, 1990 1998.  Upon
  1 18 receipt of the application in approved form accompanied by the
  1 19 required fees, the county recorder shall enter it upon the
  1 20 records and shall issue to the applicant a pocket-size
  1 21 registration certificate.  The certificate shall be executed
  1 22 in triplicate, one copy to be delivered to the owner, one copy
  1 23 to the commission, and one copy to be retained on file by the
  1 24 county recorder.  The registration certificate shall bear the
  1 25 number awarded to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile and
  1 26 the name and address of the owner.  The registration
  1 27 certificate shall be carried either in the all-terrain vehicle
  1 28 or snowmobile or on the person of the operator of the machine
  1 29 when in use.  The operator of an all-terrain vehicle or
  1 30 snowmobile shall exhibit the registration certificate to a
  1 31 peace officer upon request, to a person injured in an accident
  1 32 involving an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile, or to the
  1 33 owner or operator of another all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile
  1 34 or the owner of personal or real property when the all-terrain
  1 35 vehicle or snowmobile is involved in a collision or accident
  2  1 of any nature with another all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile
  2  2 or the property of another person or to the property owner or
  2  3 tenant when the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile is being
  2  4 operated on private property without permission from the
  2  5 property owner or tenant.  
  2  6                           EXPLANATION
  2  7    Current law requires the owner of an all-terrain vehicle to
  2  8 register the vehicle with the county recorder every two years
  2  9 unless the vehicle is exempt from registration under the
  2 10 provisions of section 321G.8.  However, the county recorder is
  2 11 not allowed to register an all-terrain vehicle until the sales
  2 12 or use tax is paid for the purchase of the vehicle, unless the
  2 13 owner is exempted from the tax.  Section 321G.4 allows the
  2 14 owner of an all-terrain vehicle, except an all-terrain vehicle
  2 15 purchased new on or after January 1, 1990, to apply for
  2 16 registration without proof of sales or use tax paid until
  2 17 January 1, 1990.
  2 18    This bill extends the date to January 1, 1998, so that an
  2 19 all-terrain vehicle purchased prior to January 1, 1990, could
  2 20 be registered until January 1, 1998, without showing proof of
  2 21 sales or use tax paid.
