1 2 paragraph 1, Code 2005, is amended to read as follows:
1 3 The annual fee for all motor vehicles including vehicles

1 5 subsequent model years for multipurpose vehicles, except motor
1 6 trucks with a combined gross weight exceeding six tons,
1 7 special trucks, motor homes, ambulances, hearses, motorcycles,
1 8 motor bicycles, and 1992 and older model years for
1 9 multipurpose vehicles, shall be equal to one percent of the
1 10 value as fixed by the department plus forty cents for each one
1 11 hundred pounds or fraction thereof of weight of vehicle, as
1 12 fixed by the department. The weight of a motor vehicle, fixed
1 13 by the department for registration purposes, shall include the
1 14 weight 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 application requirements of section 321.20 apply to a
2 5 title issued as provided in this subsection, except that a
2 6 natural person who applies for a certificate of title shall
2 7 provide either the person's social security number, passport
2 8 number, or driver's license number, whether the license was
2 9 issued by this state, another state, or another country. The
2 10 provisions of this subsection relating to multipurpose
2 11 vehicles are effective January 1, 1993, for all 1993 and
2 12 subsequent model years. The annual registration fee for
2 13 multipurpose vehicles that are 1992 model years and older
2 14 shall be in accordance with section 321.124.

2 22 tractors, or road tractors shall be registered for a gross
2 23 weight equal to or in excess of the unladen weight of the

4 9 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION. 312.2A COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
4 10 NETWORK HIGHWAY FUND.
4 11 1. Beginning in January 2006, from the amount of money
4 12 credited from the road use tax fund to the primary road fund
4 13 under section 312.2, subsection 1, the treasurer of state
4 14 shall set aside monthly, in a fund to be known as the
4 15 commercial and industrial network highway fund, an amount
4 16 equal to forty=seven and one=half percent of the motor vehicle
4 17 registration revenue attributable to the change in motor truck
4 18 registration fees, as determined under subsection 2.
4 19 2. a. For months in the calendar year beginning January
4 20 1, 2006, the motor vehicle registration revenue attributable
4 21 to the change in motor truck registration fees shall be the
4 22 actual increase in revenue derived from basing registration
4 23 fees for motor trucks with a combined gross weight of six tons
4 24 or less on the vehicle's weight and value, as required under
4 25 section 321.109, instead of charging the flat fee required
4 26 under section 321.122, Code 2005. In calculating the actual
4 27 increase in revenue derived from the change in motor truck
4 28 fees, the department shall take into consideration any
4 29 automatic reduction applied to the registration fees for motor
4 30 trucks with a combined gross weight of six tons or less
4 31 pursuant to section 321.113.
4 32 b. The total amount of motor vehicle registration revenue
4 33 attributable to the change in motor truck registration fees
4 34 for all months in the calendar year beginning January 1, 2006,
4 35 as determined under subsection 2, divided by the total amount
5 1 of all motor vehicle registration revenues credited to the
5 2 road use tax fund for that calendar year, is the "percentage
5 3 multiplier" to be used to determine the motor vehicle
5 4 registration revenue attributable to the change in motor truck
5 5 registration fees for months in subsequent calendar years, as
5 6 provided in paragraph "c".
5 7 c. For months in the calendar year beginning January 1,
5 8 2007, and subsequent years, the motor vehicle registration
5 9 revenue attributable to the change in motor truck registration
5 10 fees is the product of the total amount of all motor vehicle
5 11 registration revenues credited to the road use tax fund for
5 12 the month multiplied by the "percentage multiplier" under
5 13 paragraph "b".
5 14 3. The moneys in the commercial and industrial network
5 15 highway fund are appropriated annually to the state department
5 16 of transportation to be used for construction projects on
5 17 major arterial highways and connecting spurs in the state
5 18 primary system. Moneys so appropriated shall be used first to
5 19 complete projects planned for or under construction on state
5 20 highways 20, 30, and 34, as of January 1, 2006.
5 21 Sec. 4. APPLICABILITY. This Act applies to new motor
5 22 truck registrations, transfers of ownership, and registration
5 23 renewals for registration periods beginning on or after
5 24 January 1, 2006.
5 25 EXPLANATION
5 26 This bill eliminates the flat fee currently charged for
5 27 registration of motor trucks with a combined gross weight of
5 28 six tons or less. The bill subjects such trucks to an annual
5 29 registration fee based on the value and weight of the vehicle,
5 30 as determined by the state department of transportation, in
5 31 the manner currently used to calculate fees for other types of
5 32 motor vehicles. The fee is automatically reduced for vehicles
5 33 more than five model years old.
5 34 The bill establishes a commercial and industrial network
5 35 highway fund in the road use tax fund. Beginning in January
6 1 2006, an amount determined to be the portion of the motor
6 2 vehicle registration revenue attributable to the change in
6 3 motor truck registration fees deposited in the primary road
6 4 fund shall be credited monthly to the commercial and
6 5 industrial network highway fund and appropriated to the state
6 6 department of transportation for construction projects on
6 7 major arterial highways and connecting spurs in the state
6 8 primary road system. Such moneys are appropriated first for
6 9 projects under construction or already planned for highways
6 10 20, 30, and 34 until those projects are completed.
6 11 The bill applies to new motor truck registrations,
6 12 transfers of ownership, and registration renewals for
6 13 registration periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006.
