Item 1

 
A. The commissioner may appoint municipal clerks or other
persons who a municipality may designate as municipal agents
to issue snowmobile registrations. The commissioner may
designate other agents as necessary to issue snowmobile
registrations. The commissioner shall determine by rule the
period when the agents shall act.

 
B. Agents may charge a service fee of not more than $1 for
each snowmobile renewal registration issued and $2 for each
registration covered by sections 13002 to 13005. This
service fee is retained by the agent.

 
C. An agent is delinquent if that agent fails to forward to
the commissioner funds collected by that agent by the date
established in rules adopted under this subsection. Failure
to remit the funds as provided in this subsection results in
the following sanctions, in addition to any other provided
by law.

 
(1) The commissioner shall charge interest on the
amount owed at the rate of 18% a year for each day the
agent is delinquent.

 
(2) If the agent has not paid the amount owed by the
60th day after the agent becomes delinquent, the
commissioner shall assess a surcharge of 5% of the
principal amount owed.

 
(3) If an agent is delinquent for more than 150 days
or is delinquent 3 or more times in one year, the
commissioner shall:

 
(a) Terminate the agency for the balance of the
year; and

 
(b) Order that the agency not be renewed for the
next year.

 
Rules adopted pursuant to this subsection are routine technical
rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.

 
2. Unlawful issuance of snowmobile registration. An agent
may not issue a resident snowmobile registration to a nonresident
or a nonresident snowmobile registration to a resident.

 
A person who violates this subsection commits a civil violation
for which a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $500
may be adjudged.
