A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the registration of antique snowmobiles.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 321G.4, subsection 4, Code 2022, is amended to read as follows:
   4.  Notwithstanding subsections 1 and 2, a snowmobile manufactured prior to 1984 twenty-five years old or older may be registered as an antique snowmobile for a one-time fee of twenty-five dollars, which shall exempt the owner from annual registration and fee requirements for that snowmobile. However, if ownership of an antique snowmobile is transferred, the new owner shall register the snowmobile and pay the one-time fee as required under this subsection. An antique snowmobile may be registered with only a signed bill of sale as evidence of ownership.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Under current law, the owner of a snowmobile manufactured prior to 1984 may register the snowmobile as an antique. The one-time fee for an antique snowmobile registration is $25 and thereafter the owner of the snowmobile is exempt from other annual registration and fee requirements.
   This bill authorizes a snowmobile 25 years old or older to be registered as an antique snowmobile.
