 11 16 sales and use taxes.
 11 17    Code sections 422.101 through 422.104 pertaining to the
 11 18 special reserve fund are repealed as these sections are
 11 19 obsolete.
 11 20    Code section 423.14 is amended to insert language that use
 11 21 tax is payable by the user on services as well as property for
 11 22 each quarterly period.  This makes section 423.14 consistent
 11 23 with section 423.2, which imposes the tax on services and
 11 24 makes the user liable for the tax until the tax has been paid.
 11 25    Code chapter 436 is repealed as there are no longer any
 11 26 express companies in Iowa.  Code sections 331.401(1);
 11 27 331.512(8); 420.207; 427A.1(1); 427B.17(5); 429.1; 441.21(5),
 11 28 (9), and (10); and 441.73(1), are amended to strike references
 11 29 to chapter 436.
 11 30    Code section 452A.3 is amended to keep the tax rate for
 11 31 liquefied petroleum gas at 20 cents per gallon.  2001 Iowa
 11 32 Acts, chapter 123, provides for a variable tax rate for motor
 11 33 fuel beginning July 1, 2002.  The statute states that the tax
 11 34 for liquefied petroleum gas is the same as motor fuel.  It
 11 35 would create administrative problems for the department as
 12  1 well as taxpayers if the tax rate for liquefied petroleum gas
 12  2 was not a set amount.
 12  3    Code section 452A.15 is amended to give the director the
 12  4 authority to require that transportation reports be filed by
 12  5 electronic transmission.  The director has this authority for
 12  6 other fuel tax reports required in Code chapter 452A.
 12  7    Code sections 452A.17(3), 452A.21, and 452A.72 are amended
 12  8 to change the time period for the taxpayer to claim a refund
 12  9 from one year to three years to be consistent with the time
 12 10 period the department has to audit the taxpayer's records.
 12 11 This would be consistent with requirements for other tax types
 12 12 administered by the department.  Code section 452A.19 is
 12 13 amended so that a refund claim does not expire if a refund is
 12 14 not claimed within one year, but rather expiration occurs
 12 15 after three years.
