26.22 	(1) $20, plus (2) an additional tax amount equal to 1.25 1.5 percent of the base value.

26.30 	select from those listings only the lowest price for determining base value.
26.31 	(d) If unable to determine the base value because the vehicle is specially constructed, 
26.32 	or for any other reason, the registrar may establish such value upon the cost price to the 
27.1 	purchaser or owner as evidenced by a certificate of cost but not including Minnesota sales 
27.2 	or use tax or any local sales or other local tax.

60.22 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 80E.13, is amended to read:
60.23 	80E.13 UNFAIR PRACTICES BY MANUFACTURERS, DISTRIBUTORS, 
60.24 	FACTORY BRANCHES.
60.25 	It is unlawful and an unfair practice for a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch 
60.26 	to engage in any of the following practices:
60.27 	(a) delay, refuse, or fail to deliver new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle parts or 
60.28 	accessories in reasonable time and in reasonable quantity relative to the new motor vehicle 
60.29 	dealer's facilities and sales potential in the dealer's relevant market area, after having accepted 
60.30 	an order from a new motor vehicle dealer having a franchise for the retail sale of any new 
60.31 	motor vehicle sold or distributed by the manufacturer or distributor, if the new motor vehicle 
61.1 	or new motor vehicle parts or accessories are publicly advertised as being available for 
61.2 	delivery or actually being delivered. This clause is not violated, however, if the failure is 
61.3 	caused by acts or causes beyond the control of the manufacturer;
61.4 	(b) refuse to disclose to any new motor vehicle dealer handling the same line make, the 
61.5 	manner and mode of distribution of that line make within the relevant market area;
61.6 	(c) obtain money, goods, service, or any other benefit from any other person with whom 
61.7 	the dealer does business, on account of, or in relation to, the transaction between the dealer 
61.8 	and the other person, other than for compensation for services rendered, unless the benefit 
61.9 	is promptly accounted for, and transmitted to, the new motor vehicle dealer;
61.10 	(d) increase prices of new motor vehicles which the new motor vehicle dealer had ordered 
61.11 	for private retail consumers prior to the dealer's receiving the written official price increase 
61.12 	notification. A sales contract signed by a private retail consumer shall constitute evidence 
61.13 	of each order if the vehicle is in fact delivered to that customer. In the event of manufacturer 
61.14 	price reductions, the amount of any reduction received by a dealer shall be passed on to the 
61.15 	private retail consumer by the dealer if the retail price was negotiated on the basis of the 
61.16 	previous higher price to the dealer;
61.17 	(e) offer any refunds or other types of inducements to any new motor vehicle dealer for 
61.18 	the purchase of new motor vehicles of a certain line make without making the same offer 
61.19 	to all other new motor vehicle dealers in the same line make within geographic areas 
61.20 	reasonably determined by the manufacturer;
61.21 	(f) release to any outside party, except under subpoena or in an administrative or judicial 
61.22 	proceeding involving the manufacturer or dealer, any business, financial, or personal 
61.23 	information which may be provided by the dealer to the manufacturer, without the express 
61.24 	written consent of the dealer or unless pertinent to judicial or governmental administrative 
61.25 	proceedings or to arbitration proceedings of any kind;
61.26 	(g) deny any new motor vehicle dealer the right of free association with any other new 
61.27 	motor vehicle dealer for any lawful purpose;
61.28 	(h) unfairly discriminate among its new motor vehicle dealers with respect to warranty 
61.29 	reimbursement or authority granted its new vehicle dealers to make warranty adjustments 
61.30 	with retail customers;
61.31 	(i) compete with a new motor vehicle dealer in the same line make operating under an 
61.32 	agreement or franchise from the same manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch. A 
61.33 	manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch is considered to be competing when it has an 
62.1 	ownership interest, other than a passive interest held for investment purposes, in a dealership 
62.2 	of its line make located within the state. A manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch shall 
62.3 	not, however, be deemed to be competing when operating a dealership, either temporarily 
62.4 	or for a reasonable period, which is for sale to any qualified independent person at a fair 
62.5 	and reasonable price, or when involved in a bona fide relationship in which an independent 
62.6 	person has made a significant investment subject to loss in the dealership and can reasonably 
62.7 	expect to acquire full ownership and full management and operational control of the 
62.8 	dealership within a reasonable time on reasonable terms and conditions;
62.9 	(j) prevent a new motor vehicle dealer from transferring or assigning a new motor vehicle 
62.10 	dealership to a qualified transferee. There shall be no transfer, assignment of the franchise, 
62.11 	or major change in the executive management of the dealership, except as is otherwise 
62.12 	provided in sections 80E.01 to 80E.17, without consent of the manufacturer, which shall 
62.13 	not be withheld without good cause. In determining whether good cause exists for 
62.14 	withholding consent to a transfer or assignment, the manufacturer, distributor, factory 
62.15 	branch, or importer has the burden of proving that the transferee is a person who is not of 
62.16 	good moral character or does not meet the franchisor's existing and reasonable capital 
62.17 	standards and, considering the volume of sales and service of the new motor vehicle dealer, 
62.18 	reasonable business experience standards in the market area. Denial of the request must be 
62.19 	in writing and delivered to the new motor vehicle dealer within 60 days after the manufacturer 
62.20 	receives the completed application customarily used by the manufacturer, distributor, factory 
62.21 	branch, or importer for dealer appointments. If a denial is not sent within this period, the 
62.22 	manufacturer shall be deemed to have given its consent to the proposed transfer or change. 
62.23 	In the event of a proposed sale or transfer of a franchise, the manufacturer, distributor, 
62.24 	factory branch, or importer shall be permitted to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire 
62.25 	the franchisee's assets or ownership if:
62.26 	(1) the franchise agreement permits the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or 
62.27 	importer to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire the franchisee's assets or ownership 
62.28 	in the event of a proposed sale or transfer;
62.29 	(2) the proposed transfer of the dealership or its assets is of more than 50 percent of the 
62.30 	ownership or assets;
62.31 	(3) the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer notifies the dealer in writing 
62.32 	within 60 days of its receipt of the complete written proposal for the proposed sale or transfer 
62.33 	on forms generally utilized by the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer for 
62.34 	such purposes and containing the information required therein and all documents and 
62.35 	agreements relating to the proposed sale or transfer;
63.1 	(4) the exercise of the right of first refusal will result in the dealer and dealer's owners 
63.2 	receiving the same or greater consideration with equivalent terms of sale as is provided in 
63.3 	the documents and agreements submitted to the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, 
63.4 	or importer under clause (3);
63.5 	(5) the proposed change of 50 percent or more of the ownership or of the dealership 
63.6 	assets does not involve the transfer or sale of assets or the transfer or issuance of stock by 
63.7 	the dealer or one or more dealer owners to a family member, including a spouse, child, 
63.8 	stepchild, grandchild, spouse of a child or grandchild, brother, sister, or parent of the dealer 
63.9 	owner; to a manager who has been employed in the dealership for at least four years and is 
63.10 	otherwise qualified as a dealer operator; or to a partnership or corporation owned and 
63.11 	controlled by one or more of such persons; and
63.12 	(6) the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer agrees to pay the reasonable 
63.13 	expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, which do not exceed the usual customary and 
63.14 	reasonable fees charged for similar work done for other clients incurred by the proposed 
63.15 	new owner and transferee before the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer 
63.16 	exercises its right of first refusal, in negotiating and implementing the contract for the 
63.17 	proposed change of ownership or transfer of dealership assets. However, payment of such 
63.18 	expenses and attorney fees shall not be required if the dealer has not submitted or caused 
63.19 	to be submitted an accounting of those expenses within 20 days after the dealer's receipt of 
63.20 	the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer's written request for such an 
63.21 	accounting. The manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer may request such an 
63.22 	accounting before exercising its right of first refusal. The obligation created under this clause 
63.23 	is enforceable by the transferee;
63.24 	(k) threaten to modify or replace or modify or replace a franchise with a succeeding 
63.25 	franchise that would adversely alter the rights or obligations of a new motor vehicle dealer 
63.26 	under an existing franchise or that substantially impairs the sales or service obligations or 
63.27 	investments of the motor vehicle dealer;
63.28 	(l) unreasonably deny the right to acquire factory program vehicles to any dealer holding 
63.29 	a valid franchise from the manufacturer to sell the same line make of vehicles, provided 
63.30 	that the manufacturer may impose reasonable restrictions and limitations on the purchase 
63.31 	or resale of program vehicles to be applied equitably to all of its franchised dealers. For the 
63.32 	purposes of this paragraph, "factory program vehicle" has the meaning given the term in 
63.33 	section 80E.06, subdivision 2;
64.1 	(m) fail or refuse to offer to its same line make franchised dealers all models manufactured 
64.2 	for that line make, other than alternative fuel vehicles as defined in section 216C.01, 
64.3 	subdivision 1b. Failure to offer a model is not a violation of this section if the failure is not 
64.4 	arbitrary and is due to a lack of manufacturing capacity, a strike, labor difficulty, or other 
64.5 	cause over which the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has no control;
64.6 	(n) require a dealer to pay an extra fee, or remodel, renovate, or recondition the dealer's 
64.7 	existing facilities, or purchase unreasonable advertising displays, training, tools, or other 
64.8 	materials, or to require the dealer to establish exclusive facilities or dedicated personnel as 
64.9 	a prerequisite to receiving a model or a series of vehicles;
64.10 	(o) require a dealer by program, incentive provision, or otherwise to adhere to 
64.11 	performance standards that are not applied uniformly to other similarly situated dealers.
64.12 	A performance standard, sales objective, or program for measuring dealership performance 
64.13 	that may have a material effect on a dealer, including the dealer's right to payment under 
64.14 	any incentive or reimbursement program, and the application of the standard or program 
64.15 	by a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must be fair, reasonable, equitable, and 
64.16 	based on accurate information. Upon written request by any of its franchised dealers located 
64.17 	within Minnesota, a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must provide the method 
64.18 	or formula used by the manufacturer in establishing the sales volumes for receiving a rebate 
64.19 	or incentive and the specific calculations for determining the required sales volumes of the 
64.20 	inquiring dealer and any of the manufacturer's other Minnesota-franchised new motor vehicle 
64.21 	dealers of the same line-make located within 75 miles of the inquiring dealer. Nothing 
64.22 	contained in this section requires a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch to disclose 
64.23 	confidential business information of any of its franchised dealers or the required numerical 
64.24 	sales volumes that any of its franchised dealers must attain to receive a rebate or incentive. 
64.25 	An inquiring dealer may file a civil action as provided in section 80E.17 without a showing 
64.26 	of injury if a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch fails to make the disclosure required 
64.27 	by this section.
64.28 	A manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has the burden of proving that the performance 
64.29 	standard, sales objective, or program for measuring dealership performance is fair, reasonable, 
64.30 	and uniformly applied under this section;
64.31 	(p) assign or change a dealer's area of sales effectiveness arbitrarily or without due regard 
64.32 	to the present pattern of motor vehicle sales and registrations within the dealer's market. 
64.33 	The manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch must provide at least 90 days' notice of the 
64.34 	proposed change. The change may not take effect if the dealer commences a civil action 
65.1 	within the 90 days' notice period to determine whether the manufacturer, distributor, or 
65.2 	factory branch met its obligations under this section. The burden of proof in such an action 
65.3 	shall be on the manufacturer or distributor. In determining at the evidentiary hearing whether 
65.4 	a manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch has assigned or changed the dealer's area of 
65.5 	sales effectiveness or is proposing to assign or change the dealer's area of sales effectiveness 
65.6 	arbitrarily or without due regard to the present pattern of motor vehicle sales and registrations 
65.7 	within the dealer's market, the court may take into consideration the relevant circumstances, 
65.8 	including, but not limited to:
65.9 	(1) the traffic patterns between consumers and the same line-make franchised dealers 
65.10 	of the affected manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch who are located within the 
65.11 	market;
65.12 	(2) the pattern of new vehicle sales and registrations of the affected manufacturer, 
65.13 	distributor, or factory branch within various portions of the area of sales effectiveness and 
65.14 	within the market as a whole;
65.15 	(3) the growth or decline in population, density of population, and new car registrations 
65.16 	in the market;
65.17 	(4) the presence or absence of natural geographical obstacles or boundaries, such as 
65.18 	rivers;
65.19 	(5) the proximity of census tracts or other geographic units used by the affected 
65.20 	manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, or distributor branch in determining the same 
65.21 	line-make dealers' respective areas of sales effectiveness; and
65.22 	(6) the reasonableness of the change or proposed change to the dealer's area of sales 
65.23 	effectiveness, considering the benefits and harm to the petitioning dealer, other same 
65.24 	line-make dealers, and the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch;
65.25 	(q) to charge back, withhold payment, deny vehicle allocation, or take any other adverse 
65.26 	action against a dealer when a new vehicle sold by the dealer has been exported to a foreign 
65.27 	country, unless the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch can show that at the time 
65.28 	of sale, the customer's information was listed on a known or suspected exporter list made 
65.29 	available to the dealer, or the dealer knew or reasonably should have known of the purchaser's 
65.30 	intention to export or resell the motor vehicle in violation of the manufacturer's export 
65.31 	policy. There is a rebuttable presumption that the dealer did not know or should not have 
65.32 	reasonably known that the vehicle would be exported or resold in violation of the 
65.33 	manufacturer's export policy if the vehicle is titled and registered in any state of the United 
65.34 	States; or
66.1 	(r) to implement a charge back or withhold payment to a dealer that is solely due to an 
66.2 	unreasonable delay by the registrar, as defined in section 168.002, subdivision 29, in the 
66.3 	transfer or registration of a new motor vehicle. The dealer must give the manufacturer notice 
66.4 	of the state's delay in writing. Within 30 days of any notice of a charge back, withholding 
66.5 	of payments, or denial of a claim, the dealer must transmit to the manufacturer: (1) 
66.6 	documentation to demonstrate the vehicle sale and delivery as reported; and (2) a written 
66.7 	attestation signed by the dealer operator or general manager stating that the delay is 
66.8 	attributable to the state. This clause expires on June 30, 2022; or
66.9 	(r) (s) to require a dealer or prospective dealer by program, incentive provision, or 
66.10 	otherwise to construct improvements to its or a predecessor's facilities or to install new signs 
66.11 	or other franchisor image elements that replace or substantially alter improvements, signs, 
66.12 	or franchisor image elements completed within the preceding ten years that were required 
66.13 	and approved by the manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch, including any such 
66.14 	improvements, signs, or franchisor image elements that were required as a condition of the 
66.15 	dealer or predecessor dealer receiving an incentive or other compensation from the 
66.16 	manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch.
66.17 	This paragraph shall not apply to a program or agreement that provides lump sum payments 
66.18 	to assist dealers in making facility improvements or to pay for signs or franchisor image 
66.19 	elements when such payments are not dependent on the dealer selling or purchasing specific 
66.20 	numbers of new vehicles and shall not apply to a program that is in effect with more than 
66.21 	one Minnesota dealer on August 1, 2018, nor to any renewal of such program, nor to a 
66.22 	modification that is not a substantial modification of a material term or condition of such 
66.23 	program.

70.18 	recognized tribes on projects carried out under United States Code, title 23, on or near an 
70.19 	Indian reservation. For purposes of this section, a project is near a reservation if (1) the 
70.20 	project is within the distance a person seeking employment could reasonably be expected 
70.21 	to commute to and from each work day, or (2) the commissioner, in consultation with 
70.22 	federally recognized Minnesota tribes, determines a project is near an Indian reservation.

70.23 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 161.45, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
70.24 		Subd. 2.Relocation of utility. Whenever the relocation of any utility facility is 
70.25 	necessitated by the construction of a project on a trunk highway routes other than those 
70.26 	described in section 161.46, subdivision 2 route, the relocation work may be made a part 
70.27 	of the state highway construction contract or let as a separate contract as provided by law 
70.28 	if the owner or operator of the facility requests the commissioner to act as its agent for the 
70.29 	purpose of relocating the facilities and if the commissioner determines that such action is 
70.30 	in the best interests of the state. Payment by the utility owner or operator to the state shall 
70.31 	be in accordance with applicable statutes and the rules for utilities on trunk highways.

71.1 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 161.46, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
71.2 		Subd. 2.Relocation of facilities; reimbursement. (a) Whenever the commissioner shall

71.5 	which routes are included within the National System of Interstate Highways, the owner or 
71.6 	operator of such utility facility shall relocate the same in accordance with the order of the 
71.7 	commissioner. After the completion of such relocation the cost thereof shall be ascertained 
71.8 	and paid by the state out of trunk highway funds; provided, however, the amount to be paid 
71.9 	by the state for such reimbursement shall not exceed the amount on which the federal 
71.10 	government bases its reimbursement for said interstate system.
71.11 	(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), any utility facility installed after August 1, 2019, is 
71.12 	not eligible for relocation reimbursement.

71.13 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.013, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:
71.14 		Subd. 1a.Passenger automobile; hearse. (a) On passenger automobiles as defined in 
71.15 	section 168.002, subdivision 24, and hearses, except as otherwise provided, the tax is $10 
71.16 	plus an additional tax equal to 1.25 percent of the base value.
71.17 	(b) Subject to the classification provisions herein, "base value" means the manufacturer's 
71.18 	suggested retail price of the vehicle including destination charge using list price information 
71.19 	published by the manufacturer or determined by the registrar if no suggested retail price 
71.20 	exists, and shall not include the cost of each accessory or item of optional equipment 
71.21 	separately added to the vehicle and the suggested retail price. In the case of the first 
71.22 	registration of a new vehicle sold or leased by a licensed dealer, the dealer may elect to 
71.23 	individually determine the base value of the vehicle using suggested retail price information 
71.24 	provided by the manufacturer. The registrar must use the base value determined by the 
71.25 	dealer to properly classify the vehicle. A dealer that elects to make the determination must 
71.26 	retain a copy of the suggested retail price label or other supporting documentation with the 
71.27 	vehicle transaction records maintained under Minnesota Rules, part 7400.5200.
71.28 	(c) If the manufacturer's list price information contains a single vehicle identification 
71.29 	number followed by various descriptions and suggested retail prices, the registrar shall 
71.30 	select from those listings only the lowest price for determining base value.
71.31 	(d) If unable to determine the base value because the vehicle is specially constructed, 
71.32 	or for any other reason, the registrar may establish such value upon the cost price to the 
72.1 	purchaser or owner as evidenced by a certificate of cost but not including Minnesota sales 
72.2 	or use tax or any local sales or other local tax.
72.3 	(e) The registrar shall classify every vehicle in its proper base value class as follows:

72.4	FROM
		TO
	
72.5	$
	0
		$ 199.99
	
72.6	$
	200
		$ 399.99
	
72.7 	and thereafter a series of classes successively set in brackets having a spread of $200 
72.8 	consisting of such number of classes as will permit classification of all vehicles.
72.9 	(f) The base value for purposes of this section shall be the middle point between the 
72.10 	extremes of its class.
72.11 	(g) The registrar shall establish the base value, when new, of every passenger automobile 
72.12 	and hearse registered prior to the effective date of Extra Session Laws 1971, chapter 31, 
72.13 	using list price information published by the manufacturer or any nationally recognized 
72.14 	firm or association compiling such data for the automotive industry. If unable to ascertain 
72.15 	the base value of any registered vehicle in the foregoing manner, the registrar may use any 
72.16 	other available source or method. The registrar shall calculate tax using base value 
72.17 	information available to dealers and deputy registrars at the time the application for 
72.18 	registration is submitted. The tax on all previously registered vehicles shall be computed 
72.19 	upon the base value thus determined taking into account the depreciation provisions of 
72.20 	paragraph (h).
72.21 	(h) The annual additional tax must be computed upon a percentage of the base value as 
72.22 	follows: during the first year of vehicle life, upon 100 percent of the base value; for the 
72.23 	second year, 90 percent of such value; for the third year, 80 percent of such value; for the 
72.24 	fourth year, 70 percent of such value; for the fifth year, 60 percent of such value; for the 
72.25 	sixth year, 50 percent of such value; for the seventh year, 40 percent of such value; for the 
72.26 	eighth year, 30 percent of such value; for the ninth year, 20 percent of such value; for the 
72.27 	tenth year, ten percent of such value; for the 11th and each succeeding year, the sum of $25.
72.28 	(i) In no event shall the annual additional tax be less than $25.
72.29 	(j) For any vehicle previously registered in Minnesota and regardless of prior ownership, 
72.30 	the total amount due under this subdivision and subdivision 1m must not exceed the smallest 
72.31 	total amount previously paid or due on the vehicle.

73.1 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.013, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
73.2 		Subd. 3.Application; cancellation; excessive gross weight forbidden. (a) The applicant 
73.3 	for all licenses based on gross weight shall state the unloaded weight of the motor vehicle, 
73.4 	trailer, or semitrailer and the maximum load the applicant proposes to carry on it, the sum 
73.5 	of which constitutes the gross weight upon which the license tax must be paid. However, 
73.6 	the declared gross weight upon which the tax is paid must not be less than 1-1/4 times the 
73.7 	declared unloaded weight of the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer to be registered, except 
73.8 	recreational vehicles taxed under subdivision 1g, school buses taxed under subdivision 18, 
73.9 	and tow trucks or towing vehicles defined in section 168B.011, subdivision 12a. The gross 
73.10 	weight of a tow truck or towing vehicle is the actual weight of the tow truck or towing 
73.11 	vehicle fully equipped, but does not include the weight of a wrecked or disabled vehicle 
73.12 	towed or drawn by the tow truck or towing vehicle.
73.13 	(b) Except as provided by special permit issued under section 169.86, the gross weight 
73.14 	of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer must not exceed the gross weight upon which the 
73.15 	license tax has been paid by more than four percent or 1,000 pounds, whichever is greater; 
73.16 	provided that, a vehicle transporting unfinished forest products on a highway, other than a 
73.17 	highway that is part of the system of interstate and defense highways, unless a federal 
73.18 	exemption is granted, in accordance with paragraph (d)(3):
73.19 	(1) shall not exceed its gross vehicle weight upon which the license tax has been paid, 
73.20 	or gross axle weight on any axle, by more than five percent and, notwithstanding other law 
73.21 	to the contrary, is not subject to any fee, fine, or other assessment or penalty for exceeding 
73.22 	a gross vehicle or axle weight by up to five percent. This clause applies year round to 
73.23 	suppliers of unfinished forest products to mills; and
73.24 	(2) between the dates set by the commissioner in accordance with section 169.826, 
73.25 	subdivision 1, is not subject to any provision of paragraph (d) or chapter 169 limiting the 
73.26 	gross axle weight of any individual axle unless the entire vehicle also exceeds its gross 
73.27 	vehicle weight plus its weight allowance allowed in clause (1) and plus any weight allowance 
73.28 	permitted under section 169.826, in which case the vehicle is subject to all applicable 
73.29 	penalties for excess weight violations.
73.30 	(c) The gross weight of the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer for which the license 
73.31 	tax is paid must be indicated by a distinctive character on the license plate or plates except 
73.32 	as provided in subdivision 12 or section 169.86, subdivision 5a, as applicable, and the plate 
73.33 	or plates must be kept clean and clearly visible at all times.
74.1 	(d) The owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer, upon conviction 
74.2 	for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which it was registered or 
74.3 	for operating a vehicle with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load weight, 
74.4 	is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to increased registration or reregistration according 
74.5 	to the following schedule:
74.6 	(1) Upon conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for 
74.7 	which a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is registered by more than the allowance set 
74.8 	forth in paragraph (b) but less than 25 percent, or for operating or using a motor vehicle, 
74.9 	trailer, or semitrailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load as 
74.10 	provided in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by more than the allowance set forth in paragraph 
74.11 	(b) but less than 25 percent, the owner, driver, or user of the motor vehicle, trailer, or 
74.12 	semitrailer used to commit the violation, in addition to any penalty imposed for the 
74.13 	misdemeanor, shall apply to the registrar to increase the authorized gross weight to be carried 
74.14 	on the vehicle to a weight equal to or greater than the gross weight the owner, driver, or 
74.15 	user was convicted of carrying. The increase is computed for the balance of the calendar 
74.16 	year on the basis of 1/12 of the annual tax for each month remaining in the calendar year 
74.17 	beginning with the first day of the month in which the violation occurred. If the additional 
74.18 	registration tax computed upon that weight, plus the tax already paid, amounts to more than 
74.19 	the regular tax for the maximum gross weight permitted for the vehicle under sections 
74.20 	169.822 to 169.829, that additional amount must nevertheless be paid into the highway 
74.21 	fund, but the additional tax thus paid does not authorize or permit any person to operate the 
74.22 	vehicle with a gross weight in excess of the maximum legal weight as provided by sections 
74.23 	169.822 to 169.829. Unless the owner within 30 days after a conviction applies to increase 
74.24 	the authorized weight and pays the additional tax as provided in this section, the registrar 
74.25 	shall revoke the registration on the vehicle and demand the return of the registration card 
74.26 	and plates issued on that registration.
74.27 	(2) Upon conviction of an owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer 
74.28 	for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which the motor vehicle, 
74.29 	trailer, or semitrailer was registered by 25 percent or more or for operating or using the 
74.30 	vehicle or trailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load as provided 
74.31 	in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by 25 percent or more, and in addition to any penalty imposed 
74.32 	for the misdemeanor, the registrar shall either (i) cancel the reciprocity privileges on the 
74.33 	vehicle involved if the vehicle is being operated under reciprocity or (ii) if the vehicle is 
74.34 	not being operated under reciprocity, cancel the certificate of registration on the vehicle 
74.35 	operated and demand the return of the registration certificate and registration plates. The 
75.1 	registrar may not cancel the registration or reciprocity privileges for any vehicle found in 
75.2 	violation of seasonal load restrictions imposed under section 169.87 unless the axle weight 
75.3 	exceeds the year-round weight limit for the highway on which the violation occurred. The 
75.4 	registrar may investigate any allegation of gross weight violations and demand that the 
75.5 	operator show cause why all future operating privileges in the state should not be revoked 
75.6 	unless the additional tax assessed is paid.
75.7 	(3) Clause (1) does not apply to the first haul of unprocessed or raw farm products or 
75.8 	unfinished forest products, when the registered gross weight is not exceeded by more than 
75.9 	ten percent. For purposes of this clause, "first haul" means (i) the first, continuous 
75.10 	transportation of unprocessed or raw farm products from the place of production or on-farm 
75.11 	storage site to any other location within 100 miles of the place of production or on-farm 
75.12 	storage site, or (ii) the continuous or noncontinuous transportation of unfinished forest 
75.13 	products from the place of production to the place of final processing or manufacture located 
75.14 	within 200 miles of the place of production.
75.15 	(4) When the registration on a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is revoked by the 
75.16 	registrar according to this section, the vehicle must not be operated on the highways of the 
75.17 	state until it is registered or reregistered, as the case may be, and new plates issued, and the 
75.18 	registration fee is the annual tax for the total gross weight of the vehicle at the time of 
75.19 	violation. The reregistration pursuant to this subdivision of any vehicle operating under 
75.20 	reciprocity agreements pursuant to section 168.181 or 168.187 must be at the full annual 
75.21 	registration fee without regard to the percentage of vehicle miles traveled in this state.

75.22 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2018, section 168.013, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
75.23 		Subd. 6.Listing by dealers. The owner of every motor vehicle not exempted by section 
75.24 	168.012 or 168.28, shall must, so long as it is subject to taxation within the state, annually 
75.25 	list and register the same and pay the tax herein provided annually under this section; 
75.26 	provided, however, that any dealer in motor vehicles, to whom dealer's plates have been 
75.27 	issued as provided in this chapter, coming into the possession of any such a motor vehicle 
75.28 	to be held solely for the purpose of sale or demonstration or both, shall be is entitled to 
75.29 	withhold the tax due on the vehicle from the prior registration period or becoming due on 
75.30 	such vehicle for the following year and no lien for registration tax as provided in section 
75.31 	168.31, subdivision 6, shall attach. When, thereafter, such the vehicle is otherwise used or 
75.32 	is sold, leased, or rented to another person, firm, corporation, or association, the tax for the 
75.33 	remainder of the year, prorated on a monthly basis, shall become becomes payable 
75.34 	immediately.

76.8 	specifications required by a branch of the armed forces for the model year that the restored 
76.9 	vehicle could have been owned by that branch of the armed forces; and
76.10 	(3) it is owned by a nonprofit organization and operated solely as a collector's vehicle. 
76.11 	For purposes of this subdivision, "nonprofit organization" means a corporation, society, 
76.12 	association, foundation, or institution organized and operated exclusively for historical or 
76.13 	educational purposes, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of a private 
76.14 	individual.
76.15 	(b) The owner of the vehicle shall execute an affidavit stating the name and address of 
76.16 	the person from whom purchased and of the new owner; the make, year, and model number 
76.17 	of the motor vehicle; the manufacturer's identification number; and the collector military 
76.18 	vehicle identification number, if any, located on the exterior of the vehicle. The affidavit 
76.19 	must affirm that the vehicle is owned by a nonprofit organization and is operated solely as 
76.20 	a collector's item and not for general transportation purposes. If the commissioner is satisfied 
76.21 	that the affidavit is true and correct and the owner pays a $25 tax and the plate fee authorized

76.23 	and shall issue number plates. The number plates shall bear the inscriptions "Collector" and 
76.24 	"Minnesota" and the registration number, but no date. The number plates are valid without 
76.25 	renewal as long as the vehicle is in existence in Minnesota. The commissioner may revoke 
76.26 	the plates for failure to comply with this subdivision.
76.27 	(c) Notwithstanding section 168.09, 168.12, or other law to the contrary, the owner of 
76.28 	a registered collector military vehicle is not required to display registration plates on the 
76.29 	exterior of the vehicle if the vehicle has an exterior number identification that conforms to 
76.30 	the identifying system for military vehicles in effect when the vehicle was last owned by 
76.31 	the branch of the armed forces of the United States or in effect in the year to which the 
76.32 	collector military vehicle has been restored. However, the state registration plates must be 
76.33 	carried in or on the collector military vehicle at all times.

77.14 	and is subject to the same registration, insurance, equipment, and operating requirements 
77.15 	as a motor vehicle.
