1 7 NEW SUBSECTION. 10. If the county recorder is not
1 8 satisfied as to the ownership of the snowmobile or
1 9 all-terrain vehicle or that there are no undisclosed
1 10 security interests in the snowmobile or all-terrain
1 11 vehicle, the county recorder may issue a certificate
1 12 of title for the snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle,
1 13 but, as a condition of such issuance, may require the
1 14 applicant to file with the department a bond in the
1 15 form prescribed by the department and executed by the
1 16 applicant, and also executed by a person authorized to
1 17 conduct a surety business in this state. The form and
1 18 amount of the bond shall be established by rule of the
1 19 department. The bond shall be conditioned to
1 20 indemnify any prior owner and secured party and any
1 21 subsequent purchaser of the snowmobile or all-terrain
1 22 vehicle or person acquiring any security interest in
1 23 the snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle, and their
1 24 respective successors in interest, against any
1 25 expense, loss, or damage, including reasonable
1 26 attorney fees, by reason of the issuance of the
1 27 certificate of title of the snowmobile or all-terrain
1 28 vehicle or on account of any defect in or undisclosed
1 29 security interest upon the right, title, and interest
1 30 of the applicant in and to the snowmobile or all-
1 31 terrain vehicle. Any such interested person has a
1 32 right of action to recover on the bond for any breach
1 33 of its conditions, but the aggregate liability of the
1 34 surety to all persons shall not exceed the amount of
1 35 the bond. The bond shall be returned at the end of
1 36 three years or prior thereto if the snowmobile or all-
1 37 terrain vehicle is no longer registered in this state
1 38 and the certificate of title is surrendered to the
1 39 department, unless the department has been notified of
1 40 the pendency of an action to recover on the bond."

2 12 "Sec. . Section 462A.5, subsection 1,

2 14 amended to read as follows:
2 15 The owner of the vessel shall file an application
2 16 for registration with the appropriate county recorder
2 17 on forms provided by the commission. The application
2 18 shall be completed and signed by the owner of the
2 19 vessel and shall be accompanied by the appropriate
2 20 fee, and the writing fee specified in section 462A.53.
2 21 Upon applying for registration, the owner shall
2 22 display a bill of sale, receipt, or other satisfactory
2 23 proof of ownership as provided by the rules of the
2 24 commission to the county recorder. If the county
2 25 recorder is not satisfied as to the ownership of the
2 26 vessel or that there are no undisclosed security
2 27 interests in the vessel, the county recorder may
2 28 register the vessel but shall, as a condition of
2 29 issuing a registration certificate, require the
2 30 applicant to follow the procedure provided in section
2 31 462A.5A. Upon receipt of the application in approved
2 32 form accompanied by the required fees, the county
2 33 recorder shall enter it upon the records of the
2 34 recorder's office and shall issue to the applicant a
2 35 pocket-size registration certificate. The certificate
2 36 shall be executed in triplicate, one copy to be
2 37 delivered to the owner, one copy to the commission,
2 38 and one copy to be retained on file by the county
2 39 recorder. The registration certificate shall bear the
2 40 number awarded to the vessel, the passenger capacity
2 41 of the vessel, and the name and address of the owner.
2 42 In the use of all vessels except nonpowered sailboats,
2 43 nonpowered canoes, and commercial vessels, the
2 44 registration certificate shall be carried either in
2 45 the vessel or on the person of the operator of the
2 46 vessel when in use. In the use of nonpowered
2 47 sailboats, nonpowered canoes, or commercial vessels,
2 48 the registration certificate may be kept on shore in
2 49 accordance with rules adopted by the commission. The
2 50 operator shall exhibit the certificate to a peace
3 1 officer upon request or, when involved in a collision
3 2 or accident of any nature with another vessel or other
3 3 personal property, to the owner or operator of the
3 4 other vessel or personal property.
3 5 Sec. . NEW SECTION. 462A.5A FILING BOND AS
3 6 ASSURANCE OF OWNERSHIP.
3 7 An applicant for registration of a vessel for which
3 8 the county recorder is not satisfied as to the
3 9 ownership of the vessel as provided in section 462A.5,
3 10 subsection 1, shall file with the department a bond in
3 11 the form prescribed by the department and executed by
3 12 the applicant, and also executed by a person
3 13 authorized to conduct a surety business in this state.
3 14 The form and amount of the bond shall be established
3 15 by rule of the department. The bond shall be
3 16 conditioned to indemnify any prior owner and secured
3 17 party and any subsequent purchaser of the vessel or
3 18 person acquiring any security interest in the vessel,
3 19 and their respective successors in interest, against
3 20 any expense, loss, or damage, including reasonable
3 21 attorney fees, by reason of the issuance of the
3 22 registration certificate of the vessel or on account
3 23 of any defect in or undisclosed security interest upon
3 24 the right, title, and interest of the applicant in and
3 25 to the vessel. Any such interested person has a right
3 26 of action to recover on the bond for any breach of its
3 27 conditions, but the aggregate liability of the surety
3 28 to all persons shall not exceed the amount of the
3 29 bond. The bond shall be returned at the end of three
3 30 years or prior thereto if the vessel is no longer
3 31 registered in this state and the registration
3 32 certificate is surrendered to the department, unless
3 33 the department has been notified of the pendency of an
3 34 action to recover on the bond."
