  1  3    The annual fee for all motor vehicles including vehicles

  1  9 vehicles, shall be equal to one percent of the value as fixed
  1 10 by the department plus forty cents for each one hundred pounds
  1 11 or fraction thereof of weight of vehicle, as fixed by the
  1 12 department.  The weight of a motor vehicle, fixed by the
  1 13 department for registration purposes, shall include the weight
  1 14 of a battery, heater, bumpers, spare tire, and wheel.
  1 15 Provided, however, that for any new vehicle purchased in this
  1 16 state by a nonresident for removal to the nonresident's state
  1 17 of residence the purchaser may make application to the county
  1 18 treasurer in the county of purchase for a transit plate for
  1 19 which a fee of ten dollars shall be paid.  And provided,
  1 20 however, that for any used vehicle held by a registered dealer
  1 21 and not currently registered in this state, or for any vehicle
  1 22 held by an individual and currently registered in this state,
  1 23 when purchased in this state by a nonresident for removal to
  1 24 the nonresident's state of residence, the purchaser may make
  1 25 application to the county treasurer in the county of purchase
  1 26 for a transit plate for which a fee of three dollars shall be
  1 27 paid.  The county treasurer shall issue a nontransferable
  1 28 certificate of registration for which no refund shall be
  1 29 allowed; and the transit plates shall be void thirty days
  1 30 after issuance.  Such purchaser may apply for a certificate of
  1 31 title by surrendering the manufacturer's or importer's
  1 32 certificate or certificate of title, duly assigned as provided
  1 33 in this chapter.  In this event, the treasurer in the county
  1 34 of purchase shall, when satisfied with the genuineness and
  1 35 regularity of the application, and upon payment of a fee of
  2  1 ten dollars, issue a certificate of title in the name and
  2  2 address of the nonresident purchaser delivering the same to
  2  3 the person entitled to the title as provided in this chapter.
  2  4 The provisions of this subsection relating to multipurpose
  2  5 vehicles are effective January 1, 1993, for all 1993 and
  2  6 subsequent model years.  The annual registration fee for

  2 18 of the unladen weight of the vehicle or combination of

  4 13                           EXPLANATION
  4 14    This bill phases in an elimination of the flat fee
  4 15 currently charged for registration of motor trucks with a
  4 16 gross weight of six tons or less.  The bill subjects such
  4 17 trucks to an annual registration fee based on the value and
  4 18 weight of the vehicle, as determined by the state department
  4 19 of transportation in the manner currently used to calculate
  4 20 fees for other types of motor vehicles.  The fee is
  4 21 automatically reduced for vehicles more than five model years
  4 22 old.  However, an owner who registered a motor truck prior to
  4 23 July 1, 2003, and paid a flat fee for the registration, will
  4 24 continue to be charged a flat fee for renewals of that
  4 25 registration.  The new fee schedule will apply when ownership
  4 26 of the motor truck transfers, and for subsequent renewals.
  4 27    The registration fees for special trucks for farm use are
  4 28 not affected by this bill.
