CHAPTER 326
REGISTRATION RECIPROCITY

  326.1  Policy.
  It is the policy of this state to promote and encourage the fullest possible use of its highway system by authorizing the negotiation and execution of motor vehicle reciprocal or proportional registration agreements, arrangements and declarations with other jurisdictions with respect to vehicles registered in this and such other jurisdictions, thus contributing to the economic and social development and growth of this state.
[C71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §326.1]

  326.2  Definitions.
  As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:
  1.  “Base state” with respect to commercial vehicles subject to proportional registration means the state from which the vehicle is most frequently dispatched, garaged, serviced, maintained, operated, or otherwise controlled, or also in the case of a fleet vehicle the state to which allocated for registration under statutory requirements.
  2.  “Broker” for purposes of section 326.23 means any person who, as principal or agent, sells or offers for sale any transportation, or negotiates for, or claims for solicitation, advertisement, or otherwise to be one who sells, provides, furnishes, contracts, or arranges for such transportation. The term “broker” shall not include motor carriers and employees or agents thereof.
  3.  “Commercial vehicle” means any vehicle which is operated in interstate commerce or combined intrastate and interstate commerce and used for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation or profit, or designed or used primarily for the transportation of property.
  4.  “Compact miles” means the total miles a fleet operates in this state and in all states with whom Iowa has an apportionment registration agreement and with whom the fleet owner has or will register vehicles on an apportioned registration basis.
  5.  “Department” means the department of transportation.
  6.  “Director” means the director of transportation or the director’s designee.
  7.  “Fleet” means one or more commercial vehicles.
  8.  “In-state miles” means the mileage generated within this state by commercial vehicles in the fleet subject to proportional registration; except that, with respect to fleet vehicles based in Iowa, “in-state miles” shall also include all mileage traveled by such vehicles in states with whom Iowa has a proportional registration agreement but with whom the owner elects not to apportion registration fees and mileage traveled by such vehicles under reciprocity obtained by virtue of Iowa registration.
  9.  “Jurisdiction” means any county, state, territory, federal district, foreign country, or political subdivision thereof.
  10.  “Preceding year” means a period of twelve consecutive months fixed by the department, which period shall be within the sixteen months immediately preceding the commencement of the registration year for which proportional registration is sought.
  11.  “Proportional registration” or “proration” means division and distribution of registration fees imposed on commercial vehicles between two or more jurisdictions in accordance with a formula based on miles traveled by such vehicles.
  12.  “Registration fee” means the annual motor vehicle registration fee imposed pursuant to section 321.105, unless otherwise specified.
  13.  “Total fleet miles” means the mileage generated by any truck or truck tractor which was part of a prorate fleet during the fiscal year period of September 1 through August 31 preceding the year for which proportional registration is sought. Total fleet mileage to be reported for any truck or truck tractor which was deleted from or added to the prorate fleet during the fiscal year reporting period shall be only those miles generated by such truck or truck tractor while the vehicle was part of the prorated fleet during such fiscal year reporting period. “Total fleet miles” in relation to trailers or semitrailers which are part of a prorate fleet means the mileage generated by the power units of the fleet; provided, however, that if such trailers or semitrailers were towed during the fiscal year reporting period by the power units which collectively were proportionally registered by the same fleet owner during the fiscal year reporting period as part of two or more fleets, “total fleet miles” in relation to such trailers or semitrailers means the total mileage generated by the several power fleets during the fiscal year reporting period even though some of the power units did not actually travel a portion of their total miles in contracting states where the proportional registration of such trailers or semitrailers is sought.
  14.  “Trip” for purposes of section 326.23 means:
  a.  A one-way movement from one point originating outside this state and destined to another point outside this state.
  b.  A round trip movement between two points within this state.
  c.  A round trip movement originating in this state or destined for a point within this state.

  326.6  Proportional registration of fleets.
  The department may, pursuant to section 326.5, provide for proportional registration between this state and other jurisdictions of fleets of commercial vehicles owned by residents or nonresidents engaged in interstate commerce or simultaneously engaged in interstate and intrastate commerce.
  1.  The owners of fleets of commercial vehicles subject to proportional registration under apportionment agreements negotiated by the department shall file a sworn statement with the department which shall contain the following information and such other information as the department may require:
  a.  Total fleet miles for the preceding year.
  b.  In-state miles for the preceding year.
  c.  A description and identification of each vehicle which is part of the fleet for which proportional registration is sought.
  2.  The dollar amount of registration fees due this state for each fleet subject to proportional registration shall be computed as follows:
  a.  Divide total fleet miles during the preceding year into in-state miles during the preceding year to determine the percentage of total fleet mileage allocable to this state.
  b.  Determine the sum total amount necessary to register each and every vehicle in the fleet based on the annual registration fees prescribed in chapter 321.
  c.  Multiply the percentage obtained under paragraph “a” of this subsection by the sum total obtained under paragraph “b” of this subsection.
  d.  The product so obtained under paragraph “c” of this subsection shall be the amount payable by the owner for proportional registration of the fleet for the registration year. Payment of registration fees shall be made in accordance with section 321.134, subsection 2, or a fleet owner on a renewal registration may pay a fee equal to one-half of the applicable fee and post a surety bond, certificate of deposit, or letter of credit, equal to one-half of the applicable fee at the time of the first installment. Payment of the first installment entitles an owner to the issuance of full-year credentials. The second installment shall be paid by July 15. If the second installment is not paid by July 15, the department shall file claim against the security for payment of fees and penalties due and the owner shall not be entitled to elect the installment payment option for the following year. Excess surety moneys received shall be refunded minus a fifty dollar administration fee.
  3.  The department may negotiate apportionment agreements on either a vehicle or a dollar basis. In apportionment on a vehicle basis, a sufficient number of vehicles shall be registered to produce total fee payments not less than an amount obtained by applying the proportion of in-state fleet miles to total fleet miles to the fees which would otherwise be required for total fleet registration in this state.

  326.7  Agreements on basis of compact miles.
  Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, and as an alternative to the procedure set out in section 326.6, the department may enter into agreements providing for proportional registration between this state and other jurisdictions of fleets of commercial vehicles owned by residents or nonresidents engaged in interstate commerce or simultaneously engaged in interstate and intrastate commerce on the basis of compact miles.
  The Iowa prorate percent will be computed by dividing the Iowa miles by the compact miles as defined in section 326.2. If the composite percentage paid by the Iowa resident to each of the states a party to an apportioned registration agreement with Iowa for apportioned registrations is less than one hundred percent, the department will redetermine the registration fees due the state of Iowa to bring the composite percent to one hundred percent. If the composite percent paid by the nonresident fleet operator to each of the states a party to an apportioned registration agreement with Iowa for apportioned registration fees on vehicles base plated in Iowa is less than one hundred percent, the department will redetermine the registration fees due the state of Iowa to bring the composite percent to one hundred percent on such Iowa base plated vehicles.

  326.8  Estimating mileage.
  When in-state and total fleet or compact mileage cannot be computed for a particular fleet on the basis of actual operation during the preceding year, estimated mileage shall be accepted for the fleet’s first prorate application. Estimated mileage shall be based on the proposed operation of the fleet during the entire year for which proportional registration is sought. The applicant shall substantiate the estimate by submitting details of the applicant’s proposed operation including, but not limited to, type of operation, its location, routes, and frequency of operation.
[C71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §326.8]

  326.9  Individual vehicles not to be proportionally registered.
  The registrations of individual vehicles shall not be subject to proportional registration with this state. The same fleet, consisting of the same vehicles in each state, shall be proportionally registered in each state with which the fleet is prorated; and every one of the vehicles shall be included in the fleet in each state. Failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute grounds for cancellation of proration privileges.

  326.10  Repealed by 2002 Acts, ch 1063, §  54. 

  326.10A  Payment by check.
  The department shall accept payment of fees under this chapter by personal or corporate check. The fee shall be deemed to have been paid upon receipt of the check. If the check is not honored, all fees and penalties shall accumulate as if the fee was not paid. After appropriate warning from the department, the registration account shall be suspended, collection pursued, and the delinquent registration fees shall become a debt due the state of Iowa. After a dishonored check has been received from an applicant, payments submitted by the applicant during the following year must be made with guaranteed funds. However, the department may instead accept payment in the form of a corporate check made on behalf of the applicant from an approved company with a satisfactory payment history.

  326.11  Subsequently acquired vehicles.
  Vehicles acquired by a fleet owner after the commencement of the registration year and subsequently added to the fleet shall be prorated by applying the mileage percentage used in the original application for such fleet for such registration period to registration fees due under chapter 321. An application for registration shall be filed with the department pursuant to the provisions of chapter 321.
  The director may issue temporary written authorization to carriers for vehicles acquired by a fleet owner and added to the fleet owner’s prorate fleet after the beginning of the registration year. The temporary authority shall permit the operation of a commercial vehicle until permanent identification is issued, except that the temporary authority shall expire after sixty days.

  326.12  Vehicles deleted — registration transferred.
  Fleet owners who delete commercial vehicles displaying Iowa base plates from the fleet after the commencement of the registration year shall be allowed to transfer registration credit to a replacement vehicle in accordance with this section. Iowa shall allow credit for non-Iowa based deleted vehicles only if the state designated by the fleet owner as the base state of the deleted vehicle permits transfer of registration credit to the replacement vehicle. Allowance of credit for deleted vehicles shall be subject to the following conditions:
  1.  The fee for reissuance or registration credentials or for transfer of credentials shall be seven dollars.
  2.  No deletion shall be made nor credit allowed toward registration of a replacement vehicle unless the vehicle to be removed from service has been sold, junked, repossessed, foreclosed by mechanic’s lien, title transferred by operation of law, or cancellation or expiration of a lease arrangement. The deleted vehicle shall have been disposed of on or before the date the replacement vehicle was acquired or in the possession of the applicant.
  3.  If a leased vehicle is to be deleted from the fleet and unexpired registration fees applied to the replacement vehicle, the lessee shall refund any unexpired registration fees paid by the lessor to the lessee on the transferred vehicle.
  4.  Credit shall be given for unexpired months.
  5.  The registration of the vehicle being added to the fleet is not delinquent under chapter 321.

  326.15  Refunds of registration fees.
  Refunds of registration fees paid for motor vehicles under this chapter shall be in accordance with section 321.126. In addition, if a motor vehicle is removed from an apportioned fleet, the owner in whose name the motor vehicle was registered shall return the registration plate to the department and make a claim for refund. A refund shall not be allowed without documentation of the subsequent registration of the motor vehicle.
  A qualified fleet owner may certify to the department that the registration plate has been destroyed in lieu of surrendering the plate. The department shall adopt rules to define a qualified fleet owner.

  326.16  Delinquent fees.
  1.  If the fees for proportional registration are not paid to each contracting jurisdiction entitled thereto on the basis of the proportional registration application and supporting documents filed with the department by the fleet owner within a reasonable amount of time as determined by the department, the department shall calculate late payment penalties. The fleet owner shall be notified by regular mail that fees and penalties are due and must be paid within thirty days of the invoice date. If fees and penalties are not received, the fleet owner shall be notified by certified mail that the owner’s registration has been suspended.
  2.  A five percent late payment penalty shall be assessed if an invoice is not paid within thirty days of the invoice date or within thirty days of January 31 of the registration year, whichever is later, with an additional five percent penalty assessed the first of each month thereafter until all fees and penalties are paid. In addition, the fees due for registration in this state shall be a debt due to the state of Iowa.
  3.  Failure to receive a renewal notice or an invoice by mail, facsimile transmission, or any other means of delivery does not relieve the registrant of the financial responsibility for the renewal fees, invoiced amount, or accrued penalties.

[C71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §326.17]

  326.18  Nonresident fleet owner privileges.
  When a nonresident fleet owner has registered vehicles on a prorated basis, the vehicles are fully registered insofar as interstate commerce is concerned. The privileges granted to a nonresident pursuant to this chapter permit the operation of a vehicle which is simultaneously engaged in interstate movements and intrastate commerce, provided that the owner has intrastate authority or rights granted by the department. The director may also enter into reciprocity agreements pursuant to section 326.5 to permit interstate and intrastate movement of vehicles registered on a prorated basis by a nonresident fleet owner, provided the owner has intrastate authority granted by the department and the jurisdiction in which the nonresident is base plated grants the same privilege to an Iowa base plated vehicle. Each vehicle upon which an Iowa base plate is required to be displayed under this chapter is fully registered for both interstate commerce and intrastate commerce.

  326.19  Records preserved — audits.
  A registrant whose application for apportioned registration has been accepted shall preserve the records upon which the registration is based for a period of three years after the close of the registration year. Upon request of the department, all fleet owners shall make all such records available to the department for audit as to accuracy of computation and payment. An audit shall be conducted at the office of the registrant during normal business hours. However, if circumstances dictate, the registrant may be required to present the records at the office of motor carrier services of the department. If the registrant’s operational records are not located in the base state and it is necessary for the base state to send auditors to the location where the records are normally kept, the base state may require the registrant to reimburse the per diem and travel expenses incurred by the auditors in performing the audit. The department may enter into agreements with authorized agencies or other contracting jurisdictions for joint audits of any registrant.

The registration plates, stickers, or other identification assigned and furnished to any vehicle for the current registration year by the state in which the vehicle is registered shall be displayed on the vehicle substantially as provided in chapter 321 for vehicles registered pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. In addition, a fee set by the department to cover actual cost shall be charged for each plate, sticker, or other identification furnished for each vehicle registered in accordance with the provisions of this section or extended reciprocity in accordance with the provisions of this section. A charge shall not be made for the initial registration receipt issued for each vehicle registered pursuant to an apportionment registration agreement. A fee set by the department to cover actual costs shall be charged for issuance of duplicate plates, stickers, other required identification, or registration receipts.

  326.31  Filing incorrect information — effect.
  If the director has reason to believe that a fleet owner has filed incorrect information with the department, for the purpose of reducing the fleet owner’s obligation for registration fees or fuel taxes, the director may revoke the apportioned registration privileges on all of the vehicles owned by the person. A person who has such privileges revoked shall be required to register all of the vehicles owned by the person with the appropriate county treasurer for a period of no less than one year and no more than five years thereafter. The department may use all reports pertaining to the registration fees and motor fuel taxes in ascertaining the accuracy of reports filed pertaining to registration fees and motor fuel taxes.
  A person whose privileges are revoked may request an administrative hearing of said action in accordance with chapter 17A, and during the period pending the hearing the apportioned registration privileges shall be reinstated if the fleet owner posts security with the department in an amount sufficient to pay the full annual fees if an adverse decision is rendered at the hearing. At such hearing the fleet owner shall have the burden of proof as to the accuracy of any report filed by the fleet owner with the department. Judicial review of any decision reached at the administrative hearing may be sought in accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure Act, chapter 17A.
