  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.115, subsection 1, as enacted in
  1  2 2007 Acts, chapter 143, section 12, is amended to read as
  1  3 follows:
  1  4    1.  a.  A motor vehicle twenty=five years old or older may
  1  5 be registered as an antique vehicle upon payment of the fee
  1  6 provided for in section 321.113, 321.122, or 321.124.  The
  1  7 owner of a motor vehicle registered under this subsection may
  1  8 display authentic Iowa registration plates from the model year
  1  9 of the motor vehicle, furnished by the person and approved by
  1 10 the department, in lieu of the current and valid Iowa
  1 11 registration plates issued for the vehicle, provided that the
  1 12 current and valid Iowa registration plates and the
  1 13 registration card issued for the vehicle are simultaneously
  1 14 carried within the vehicle and are available for inspection to
  1 15 any peace officer upon the officer's request.
  1 16    b.  A motor vehicle twenty=five years old or older that is
  1 17 owned by an antique motor vehicle dealer may be registered as
  1 18 an antique vehicle for a registration fee of five dollars per
  1 19 year, permitting the driving of the motor vehicle upon the
  1 20 public roads for the purpose of transporting, testing,
  1 21 demonstrating, or selling the vehicle.
  1 22    Sec. 2.  2007 Acts, chapter 143, section 11, is repealed.
  1 23                           EXPLANATION
  1 24    This bill amends a provision enacted in the 2007
  1 25 legislative session and scheduled to take effect July 1, 2008.
  1 26 That provision eliminates the $5 annual registration fee for
  1 27 antique motor vehicles, which permits highway operation for
  1 28 limited purposes, and replaces it with registration fees
  1 29 applicable for older motor vehicles registered for regular
  1 30 highway use.  The fees for such vehicles, which are 25 years
  1 31 of age or older, range from $16 for cars to $35 for small
  1 32 trucks.  The bill reinstates the $5 registration fee for
  1 33 antique motor vehicles owned by antique vehicle dealers, but
  1 34 only for vehicles operated for the purpose of transporting,
  1 35 testing, demonstrating, or selling the vehicle.
