The department may assign a distinguishing number to an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile when the serial number on the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile is destroyed or obliterated and issue to the owner a special plate bearing the distinguishing number which shall be affixed to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile in a position to be determined by the department. The all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile shall be registered and titled under the distinguishing number in lieu of the former serial number. Every all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile shall have an identification number assigned and affixed as required by the department.
2. The commission shall adopt, by rule, the procedures for application and for issuance of an identification number for homebuilt all-terrain vehicles or snowmobiles.
3. A person shall not destroy, remove, alter, cover, or deface the manufacturer's vehicle identification number, the plate bearing it, or any vehicle identification number the department assigns to an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile without the department's permission.
4. A person other than a manufacturer who constructs or rebuilds an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile for which there is no legible identification number shall submit to the department an affidavit which describes the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. In cooperation with the county recorder, the department shall assign an identification number to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. The applicant shall permanently affix the identification number to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile in a manner that such alteration, removal, or replacement of the identification number would be obvious.
