1 1 Section 1. Section 321G.4, unnumbered paragraph 2, Code
1 2 1999, 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. An all-terrain
1 18 vehicle or snowmobile that has an expired registration
1 19 certificate from another state may be registered in this state
1 20 upon proper application, payment of all applicable
1 21 registration and writing fees, and payment of a penalty of
1 22 five dollars.
1 23 PARAGRAPH DIVIDED. Upon receipt of the application in
1 24 approved form accompanied by the required fees, the county
1 25 recorder shall enter it upon the records and shall issue to
1 26 the applicant a pocket-size registration certificate. The
1 27 certificate shall be executed in triplicate, one copy to be
1 28 delivered to the owner, one copy to the commission, and one
1 29 copy to be retained on file by the county recorder. The
1 30 registration certificate shall bear the number awarded to the
1 31 all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile and the name and address of
1 32 the owner. The registration certificate shall be carried
1 33 either in the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile or on the
1 34 person of the operator of the machine when in use. The
1 35 operator of an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile shall exhibit
2 1 the registration certificate to a peace officer upon request,
2 2 to a person injured in an accident involving an all-terrain
2 3 vehicle or snowmobile, or to the owner or operator of another
2 4 all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile or the owner of personal or
2 5 real property when the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile is
2 6 involved in a collision or accident of any nature with another
2 7 all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile or the property of another
2 8 person or to the property owner or tenant when the all-terrain
2 9 vehicle or snowmobile is being operated on private property
2 10 without permission from the property owner or tenant.
2 11 Sec. 2. Section 321G.6, unnumbered paragraph 6, Code 1999,
2 12 is amended to read as follows:
2 13 Upon the transfer of ownership of an all-terrain vehicle or
2 14 snowmobile, the owner shall complete the form on the back of a
2 15 current registration certificate and shall deliver it to the
2 16 purchaser or transferee at the time of delivering the all-
2 17 terrain vehicle or snowmobile. If an all-terrain vehicle or
2 18 snowmobile is stored by the transferor pursuant to section
2 19 321G.4 at the time of transfer, the transferor shall provide
2 20 the transferee with a copy of the affidavit filed with the
2 21 county recorder pursuant to section 321G.4 at the time of
2 22 delivering the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. The
2 23 purchaser or transferee shall, within five days of transfer,
2 24 file a new application form with the county recorder with a
2 25 fee of one dollar and the writing fee, and a transfer of
2 26 number shall be awarded in the same manner as provided in an
2 27 original registration. If the purchaser or transferee does
2 28 not file a new application form within five days of transfer,
2 29 the transfer of number shall be awarded upon payment of all
2 30 applicable fees plus a penalty of five dollars.
2 31 EXPLANATION
2 32 This bill amends Code section 321G.4 to specify that an
2 33 all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile that has an expired
2 34 registration certificate from another state may be registered
2 35 in this state upon proper application, payment of all
3 1 applicable registration and writing fees, and payment of a
3 2 penalty of five dollars.
3 3 The bill amends Code section 321G.6 to change the
3 4 requirements for transfer of an all-terrain vehicle or
3 5 snowmobile that was placed in storage by the transferor. The
3 6 bill allows the transferor to provide a copy of the affidavit
3 7 filed with the county recorder concerning the storage to the
3 8 transferee rather than requiring the transferor to renew the
3 9 registration prior to transfer.
3 10 Code section 321G.6 is also amended to provide a penalty of
3 11 five dollars for transferees of all-terrain vehicles and
3 12 snowmobiles who fail to file a new application form for
3 13 registration within five days of the transfer.
3 14 Violations of any of the provisions of the bill are
3 15 punishable as simple misdemeanors under Code section 321G.14.
