  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.113, Code 2001, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    321.113  AUTOMATIC REDUCTION.
  1  4    1.  The registration fee for a motor vehicle shall not be
  1  5 automatically reduced under this section unless the
  1  6 registration fee is based on the value and weight of the motor
  1  7 vehicle as provided in section 321.109, subsection 1.
  1  8    2.  After If a motor vehicle is more than five model years
  1  9 old, that the part of the registration fee which that is based
  1 10 on the value of the vehicle shall be:
  1 11    Seventy-five seventy-five percent of the rate as fixed when
  1 12 the motor vehicle was new;.
  1 13    3.  After If a motor vehicle is more than six model years
  1 14 old, the part of the registration fee that is based on the
  1 15 value of the vehicle shall be fifty percent; of the rate as
  1 16 fixed when the motor vehicle was new.
  1 17    After a motor vehicle is more than eight model years old,
  1 18 that part of the registration fee based on the value of the
  1 19 vehicle shall be ten percent.  Where the ninth registration
  1 20 fee for a motor vehicle has been computed and fixed by the
  1 21 department prior to July 4, 1949, there shall be added to the
  1 22 registration fee, in lieu of the ten percent provided for
  1 23 herein, one dollar if such registration fee has been computed
  1 24 and fixed at fifteen dollars or less and two dollars if the
  1 25 registration fee has been computed and fixed at more than
  1 26 fifteen dollars.
  1 27    4.  If a 1994 model year or newer motor vehicle is nine
  1 28 model years old or older the registration fee is thirty-five
  1 29 dollars.  For purposes of determining the portion of the
  1 30 registration fee under this subsection that is based upon the
  1 31 value of the motor vehicle, sixty percent of the registration
  1 32 fee is attributable to the value of the vehicle.
  1 33    5.  a.  If a 1993 model year or older motor vehicle has
  1 34 been titled in the same person's name since the vehicle was
  1 35 new or the title to the vehicle was transferred prior to
  2  1 January 1, 2002, the part of the registration fee that is
  2  2 based on the value of the vehicle shall be ten percent of the
  2  3 rate as fixed when the motor vehicle was new.
  2  4    b.  If the title of a 1993 or older motor vehicle is
  2  5 transferred to a new owner or if such a motor vehicle is
  2  6 brought into the state on or after January 1, 2002, the
  2  7 registration fee shall not be based on the weight and list
  2  8 price of the motor vehicle, but shall be as follows:  
  2  9    (1)  For a motor vehicle that is model year 1969
  2 10 or older:
  2 11 .................................................. $      16.00
  2 12    (2)  For a motor vehicle that is model year 1970
  2 13 through 1989:
  2 14 .................................................. $      23.00
  2 15    (3)  For a motor vehicle that is model year 1990
  2 16 through 1993:
  2 17 .................................................. $      27.00
  2 18    For purposes of determining the portion of the registration
  2 19 fee under this paragraph "b" that is based upon the value of
  2 20 the motor vehicle, sixty percent of the registration fee is
  2 21 attributable to the value of the vehicle.
  2 22    Sec. 2.  Section 422.9, subsection 2, paragraph g, Code
  2 23 2001, is amended by striking the paragraph and inserting in
  2 24 lieu thereof:
  2 25    g.  To the extent not otherwise included pursuant to
  2 26 section 164 of the Internal Revenue Code, add the amount of
  2 27 the annual registration fee paid for a motor vehicle pursuant
  2 28 to section 321.113, subsection 4, or section 321.113,
  2 29 subsection 5, paragraph "b", which is based upon the value of
  2 30 the vehicle.  For purposes of this paragraph, sixty percent of
  2 31 the amount of the registration fee is based upon the value of
  2 32 the motor vehicle.
  2 33    Sec. 3.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act takes effect January 1,
  2 34 2002.  
  2 35                           EXPLANATION 
  3  1    This bill amends Code section 321.113, relating to the
  3  2 automatic reduction of motor vehicle registration fees for
  3  3 motor vehicles that are nine model years old or older.
  3  4 Currently, after a motor vehicle is more than eight model
  3  5 years old, the part of the registration fee based on the value
  3  6 of the vehicle is 10 percent.  The bill changes the fees for
  3  7 vehicles that are nine model years old or older to flat fees,
  3  8 based on the model year of the vehicle.  However, to ensure
  3  9 that persons owning vehicles that are more than nine model
  3 10 years old or older and registered in this state on the
  3 11 effective date of the amendment are not subject to a fee
  3 12 increase, the bill makes the flat fee schedule inapplicable to
  3 13 such vehicles until they are transferred to a new owner.  The
  3 14 bill also adds provisions to Code sections 321.113 and 422.9
  3 15 relating to the deductibility of motor vehicle registration
  3 16 fees for state and federal income tax purposes.  The bill
  3 17 provides that the portion of the applicable flat motor vehicle
  3 18 registration fee that is attributable to the value of the
  3 19 vehicle for deductibility purposes shall be 60 percent of the
  3 20 flat fee.  The bill takes effect January 1, 2002.
