House Amendment 8070

Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend House File 2246 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  Page 1, by inserting after line 19 the
  1  3 following:
  1  4    "Sec.    .  Section 321.134, subsection 1, Code
  1  5 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  1  6    1.  On the first day of the second month following
  1  7 the beginning of each registration year a penalty of
  1  8 five percent of the annual registration fee shall be
  1  9 added to the registration fees not paid by that date
  1 10 and an additional penalty of five percent shall be
  1 11 added the first day of each succeeding month, until
  1 12 the fee is paid.  A penalty shall not be less than
  1 13 five dollars.  If the owner of a vehicle surrenders
  1 14 the registration plates for a vehicle prior to the
  1 15 plates becoming delinquent, to the county treasurer of
  1 16 the county where the vehicle is registered, or to the
  1 17 department if the vehicle is registered under chapter
  1 18 326, the owner may register the vehicle any time
  1 19 thereafter upon payment of the registration fee for
  1 20 the registration year without penalty.  The penalty on
  1 21 vehicles registered under chapter 326 shall accrue
  1 22 February 1 of each year.  To avoid a penalty or an
  1 23 additional penalty in the case of a delinquent
  1 24 registration, if the last calendar day of a month
  1 25 falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, the payment
  1 26 deadline is extended to include the first business day
  1 27 of the following month.  However, an electronic
  1 28 payment must be initiated by midnight on the last
  1 29 business day of the month preceding the delinquent
  1 30 date."
  1 31    #2.  Page 2, by inserting after line 15 the
  1 32 following:
  1 33    "Sec.    .  Section 445.37, unnumbered paragraphs
  1 34 1, 3, and 4, Code Supplement 2001, are amended to read
  1 35 as follows:
  1 36    If the semiannual installment of any tax has not
  1 37 been paid before October 1 succeeding the levy, that
  1 38 amount becomes delinquent from October 1 after due,
  1 39 including.  However, in those instances when the last
  1 40 day of September is a Saturday or Sunday, that amount
  1 41 becomes delinquent on the second business day of
  1 42 October.  If the second installment is not paid before
  1 43 April 1 succeeding its maturity, it becomes delinquent
  1 44 from April 1 after due, including.  However, in those
  1 45 instances when the last day of March is a Saturday or
  1 46 Sunday, that amount becomes delinquent on the second
  1 47 business day of April.  This paragraph applies to all
  1 48 taxes as defined in section 445.1, subsection 6.
  1 49    To avoid interest on delinquent taxes, a payment
  1 50 must be received by the treasurer on or before the
  2  1 last business day of the month preceding the
  2  2 delinquent date, or mailed with appropriate postage
  2  3 and applicable fees paid, and a United States postal
  2  4 service postmark affixed to the payment envelope, with
  2  5 the postmark bearing a date preceding the delinquent
  2  6 date.  Items returned to the sender by the United
  2  7 States postal service for insufficient postage or
  2  8 applicable fees shall be assessed interest, unless the
  2  9 appropriate postage and fees are paid and the items
  2 10 are postmarked again before the delinquent date.
  2 11 However, if the last calendar day of a month falls on
  2 12 a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, that amount becomes
  2 13 delinquent on the second business day of the following
  2 14 month.
  2 15    To avoid interest on delinquent taxes, an
  2 16 electronic payment must be received in the treasurer's
  2 17 account initiated by midnight on the first last
  2 18 business day of the delinquency month preceding the
  2 19 delinquent date."
