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 a vehicle 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 a vehicle 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 vehicle 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 a vehicle identification number to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. The applicant shall permanently affix the vehicle identification number to the all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile in a manner that such alteration, removal, or replacement of the vehicle identification number would be obvious.
