PAG LIN



  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.466, subsection 2, Code 2005, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  During or after the seventh month of a current
  1  4 registration year, the The owner of a motor truck, truck
  1  5 tractor, road tractor, semitrailer, or trailer that has been
  1  6 registered for the current registration year may, if the
  1  7 owner's operation has not resulted in a conviction or action
  1  8 pending under this section, increase the gross weight of the
  1  9 vehicle to a higher gross weight classification by payment of
  1 10 one=twelfth of the difference between the annual fee for the
  1 11 higher gross weight and the amount of the fee for the gross
  1 12 weight at which it the vehicle is registered, multiplied by
  1 13 the number of unexpired months of the registration year.
  1 14                           EXPLANATION
  1 15    This bill provides that the gross weight registration of a
  1 16 motor truck, truck tractor, road tractor, semitrailer, or
  1 17 trailer may be increased at any time during the registration
  1 18 year by payment of one=twelfth of the difference between the
  1 19 annual fee for the higher gross weight and the amount of the
  1 20 fee for the weight at which the vehicle is currently
  1 21 registered, multiplied by the number of months remaining in
  1 22 the registration year.  Current law provides for increased
  1 23 gross weight registration by payment of the difference between
  1 24 the higher annual registration fee and the current annual
  1 25 registration fee, but does not allow proration of the annual
  1 26 fee until the seventh month of the registration year.
