1 15 contracts, or cost-sharing of all-terrain vehicle and
1 16 snowmobile programs with political subdivisions or
1 17 incorporated private organizations or both in accordance with

1 19 programs using cost-sharing, grants, subgrants, or contracts
1 20 shall establish and implement a safety instruction program
1 21 either singly or in cooperation with other all-terrain vehicle
1 22 programs. At least fifty percent of the special fund shall be
1 23 available for political subdivisions or incorporated private
1 24 organizations or both. Moneys from the special fund not used

1 26 organizations or both shall remain in the all-terrain vehicle
1 27 or snowmobile accounts. The department may use funds from
1 28 these accounts for the administration of the all-terrain

2 1 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION. 452A.83 TRANSFER TO SPECIAL
2 2 CONSERVATION FUND.
2 3 The treasurer of state shall transfer from the motor fuel
2 4 tax fund to the special conservation fund established under
2 5 section 321G.7 that portion of the moneys collected under this
2 6 chapter which are attributable to motor fuel used in all-
2 7 terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, computed as follows:
2 8 1. Determine annually, during the first full business week
2 9 in April, the total number of all-terrain vehicles and
2 10 snowmobiles which are registered in the state.
2 11 2. Multiply the product of the total number of registered
2 12 all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles and eighty-eight and
2 13 seven-tenths gallons times the amount of the excise tax
2 14 charged per gallon of motor fuel to obtain the total amount of
2 15 excise tax paid on all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile fuel.
2 16 3. Subtract from the total amount of excise tax paid on
2 17 all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile fuel an amount which
2 18 represents three percent of the total tax paid on all-terrain
2 19 vehicle and snowmobile fuel, for payment of the administrative
2 20 costs, which shall be allocated to the department of natural
2 21 resources for administration of all-terrain vehicle and
2 22 snowmobile programs.
2 23 EXPLANATION
2 24 This bill requires that revenue generated from the
2 25 imposition of the excise tax on the motor fuel used by all-
2 26 terrain vehicles and snowmobiles be deposited in the special
2 27 conservation fund. The special conservation fund is used by
2 28 the department of natural resources for all-terrain vehicle
2 29 and snowmobile programs. All-terrain vehicle and snowmobile
2 30 programs are currently funded through all-terrain vehicle and
2 31 snowmobile registration fees. The funds that are generated by
2 32 the excise tax on all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile motor
2 33 fuel are currently being deposited in the motor fuel tax fund.
2 34 A formula for calculation of the amount of revenue
2 35 attributable to motor fuel consumption by all-terrain vehicles
3 1 and snowmobiles is also contained in the bill.
