 33        semitrailer until the registration expires.
 34        (d)  The registration document shall be the official record of the  status
 35        of  the  extended  registration.  No pressure-sensitive validation sticker
 36        shall be required.
 37        (e)  For rental utility trailers, the optional registration  period  shall
 38        not extend beyond five (5) years. The fee shall be as specified in subsec-
 39        tion  (3)(b) or (c) of this section. A pressure-sensitive sticker shall be
 40        used to validate the license plate. The license plate shall become void if
 41        the owner's interest in the rental utility trailer changes during the five
 42        (5) year period. If the owner fails to enter the rental utility trailer on
 43        the annual renewal application during the five (5) year period, the regis-
 44        tration record shall be purged. Any unrenewed plate shall be  returned  to
 45        the department if it is not entered on the renewal application.
 46        (5)  A  fleet  registration option is available to owners who have twenty-
 47    five (25) or more commercial or farm vehicles or any combination thereof. Such
 48    owners may register all of their company vehicles with the department in  lieu
 49    of  registering with a county assessor. To qualify the fleet must be owned and
 50    operated under the unified control of one (1) person and the vehicles must  be
 51    physically garaged and maintained in two (2) or more counties. Fleet registra-
 52    tion shall not include fleets of rental vehicles. The department shall provide
 53    a registration application to the owner and the owner shall provide all infor-
                                                                        
                                           5
                                                                        
  1    mation  that  the  department  determines  is  necessary. The department shall
  2    devise a special license plate numbering system for fleet-registered  vehicles
  3    as an alternative to county license plates. The fleet registration application
  4    and  all  subsequent  registration renewals shall include the physical address
  5    where a vehicle is principally used, garaged and maintained. The  fleet  owner
  6    shall report the physical address to the department upon initial registration,
  7    on  each  renewal,  and  at any time a vehicle registered under this option is
  8    permanently transferred to another location.
  9        (6)  If the ownership of a vehicle changes during the registration period,
 10    the original owner may transfer the plate to another  vehicle.  The  remaining
 11    fee shall be credited against the cost of the new registration. Refunds may be
 12    given  for  any unexpired portion of the vehicle registration fee if the plate
 13    is not transferred by the owner to another vehicle.  Any  request  for  refund
 14    shall include surrender of the license plate, validation sticker and registra-
 15    tion document. Owners of vehicles registered under the international registra-
 16    tion  plan  may request a refund of the unexpired portion of the Idaho vehicle
 17    registration fee by presenting evidence from the base  jurisdiction  that  the
 18    license  plate, validation sticker and registration document have been surren-
 19    dered. A license plate shall not be transferred to another owner when the own-
 20    ership of a vehicle changes. The owner shall obtain a replacement plate, vali-
 21    dation sticker if required, and a registration document when a plate is  lost,
 22    destroyed or becomes illegible.
 23        (7)  An  administrative  fee  of  four  dollars  ($4.00) shall be paid and
 24    deposited to the state highway account on all registrations completed  by  the
 25    department under subsection (1) or (8)(a) of this section. Vehicles registered
 26    under  subsection (8)(b) of this section shall pay the fee provided in section
 27    49-435(2), Idaho Code.
 28        (8)  There shall be paid on all commercial and farm vehicles having a max-
 29    imum gross weight in excess of sixty thousand (60,000) pounds, a  registration
 30    fee  based upon the maximum gross weight of a vehicle as declared by the owner
 31    and the total number of miles driven on  roads  and  highways  in  the  state,
 32    county,  city  and  highway district systems in Idaho, and if registered under
 33    the international registration plan (IRP), in  all  other  jurisdictions.  The
 34    appropriate registration fee shall be determined as follows:
 35        (a)  If  the owner registers vehicles under the international registration
 36        plan (IRP), the appropriate mileage column  shall  be  determined  by  the
 37        total miles an owner operated a fleet of vehicles on roads and highways in
 38        the  state,  county, city and highway district systems in Idaho and in all
 39        other jurisdictions in the preceding year, as defined in  section  49-117,
 40        Idaho  Code,  and  by  the  maximum  gross weight of each vehicle within a
 41        fleet.
 42        (b)  If the owner registers vehicles under the international  registration
 43        plan and determines that the average international registration plan fleet
 44        miles,  calculated  by dividing the total IRP fleet miles in all jurisdic-
 45        tions by the number of registered vehicles, is less  than  fifty  thousand
 46        one  (50,001) miles, the owner may apply to the department for refund of a
 47        portion of the registration fees paid, consistent with the  fee  schedules
 48        set forth in this section. The department shall provide an application for
 49        the  refund.  An  owner  making  application for refund under this section
 50        shall be subject to auditing as provided in section 49-439, Idaho Code.
 51        (c)  If the owner is not registering vehicles under the international reg-
 52        istration plan, the appropriate mileage column shall be determined by  the
 53        total  miles  the  owner operated each of the vehicles to be registered on
 54        roads and highways in the state, county, city and highway district systems
 55        in Idaho in the preceding year and by the maximum  gross  weight  of  each

 41        (d)  In  addition  to the fees set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this
 42        subsection (8), an owner or operator may purchase a  temporary  permit  as
 43        provided in section 49-432(2), Idaho Code, for operation of a vehicle at a
 44        weight  in  excess of the current, valid, registered maximum gross vehicle
 45        weight. The permit so issued shall be specific to  the  motor  vehicle  to
 46        which  it  is issued. No permit or fee shall be transferable or apportion-
 47        able to any other vehicle, nor shall any such fee be refundable.
 48        (e)  Any commercial or farm vehicle registered for more than  sixty  thou-
 49        sand  (60,000)  pounds  up  to  one  hundred six thousand (106,000) pounds
 50        traveling fewer than two thousand five hundred (2,500) miles  annually  on
 51        roads and highways in the state, county, city and highway district systems
 52        in  Idaho  shall  pay an annual registration fee of two hundred fifty-five
 53        dollars ($255). The provisions of section 49-437(2), Idaho Code, shall not
 54        apply to vehicles registered under this subsection (8)(de).

  1        section  (8)(c)  of this section is in use, an owner shall use the mileage
  2        data from the records used to report the mileage use fee  in  the  immedi-
  3        ately  preceding  year as the basis for determining the appropriate regis-
  4        tration fee schedule.
  5        (b)  Any owner who registers a motor vehicle for the first  time  and  who
  6        has  no mileage history for the vehicle shall estimate the miles to deter-
  7        mine the appropriate fee schedule in subsection (8)(c)  of  this  section.
  8        When  estimating  the  miles,  the  owner shall provide a statement on the
  9        application of the method used to arrive at the estimated miles.
 10        (c)  Any owner using any fee schedule other than the highest fee  schedule
 11        under subsection (8)(c) of this section, shall certify at the time of reg-
 12        istration  that the miles operated in the preceding year do not exceed the
 13        schedule applied for. Any owner using  a  fee  schedule  under  subsection
 14        (8)(c)  of this section that is less than the highest schedule shall main-
 15        tain records to substantiate the use of the schedule as required  by  sec-
 16        tion 49-439, Idaho Code.
 17        (10) If  any  vehicle or combinations of vehicles haul nonreducible loads,
 18    as authorized under the provisions of section 49-1004, Idaho Code,  and  weigh
 19    less  than  the  starting weights per axle configuration listed in column 1 of
 20    subsection (2), section 49-1004, Idaho Code, then  and  in  that  event  there
 21    shall be paid for that vehicle, in addition to the other fees required in this
 22    section,  an  additional  use  fee of 2.1 mills per mile for each two thousand
 23    (2,000) pounds or fraction thereof of the maximum gross weight  in  excess  of
 24    those set forth in section 49-1001, Idaho Code.

 32    tration  fees  required, shall have committed a violation under the infraction
 33    or misdemeanor provisions of section 49-1013, Idaho Code.
 34        (2)  Any person who shall operate, cause, permit, or suffer to be operated
 35    upon any highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles with a gross weight in
 36    excess of the registered maximum gross weight not authorized by a valid permit
 37    issued pursuant to section 49-432, Idaho Code, shall have committed  a  viola-
 38    tion  under the infraction or misdemeanor provisions of section 49-1013, Idaho

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


	         STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                       RS 11276

The purpose of this legislation is to allow a vehicle to 
temporarily increase the maximum allowable legal load by 
requiring a permit stipulating the increased weight.




                     FISCAL IMPACT



There is no fiscal impact to the general fund and it is 
estimated to be revenue neutral to the highway users funds.
