          manufacturers of snowmobile trailers from being

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 168.27, 
subdivision 22, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 22.  [MOTORIZED BICYCLES, BOAT AND SNOWMOBILE 
TRAILERS.] Any person, copartnership, or corporation having a 
permanent enclosed commercial building or structure either owned 
in fee or leased and engaged in the business, either exclusively 
or in addition to any other occupation, of selling motorized 
bicycles, boat trailers, horse trailers, or snowmobile trailers, 
may apply to the registrar for a dealer's license.  Upon payment 
of a $10 fee the registrar shall license the applicant as a 
dealer for the remainder of the calendar year in which the 
application was received.  Thereafter the license may be renewed 
on or before the second day of January of each year by payment 
of a fee of $10.  The registrar shall issue to each dealer, upon 
request of the dealer, dealer plates as provided in subdivision 
16 upon payment of $5 for each plate, and the plates may be used 
in the same manner and for the same purposes as is provided in 
subdivision 16.  Except for motorized bicycle dealers, the 
registrar shall also issue to the dealer, upon request of the 
dealer, "in transit" plates as provided in subdivision 17 upon 
payment of a fee of $5 for each plate.  This subdivision shall 
not be construed to abrogate any of the provisions of this 
section as the same relates to the duties, responsibilities, and 
requirements of persons, copartnerships, or corporations engaged 
in the business, either exclusively or in addition to other 
occupations, of selling motor vehicles or manufactured homes. 
This section shall not be construed to require a manufacturer of 
snowmobile trailers whose manufacturing facility is located 
outside of the metropolitan area as defined in section 473.121 
to have a dealer's license to transport the snowmobile trailers 
to dealers or retail outlets in the state. 
    Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment.
