PAG LIN 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. 3 16 LSB 2622SS 78 3 17 nh/jw/5
