     168C.13 Registration by political subdivision. 

    Subdivision 1.    Bicycle registration powers of political 
 subdivision.  After February 28, 1977, no political 
 subdivision may license or register bicycles except as a deputy 
 registrar pursuant to section 168C.11, subdivision 1.  However, 
 any political subdivision which had such power prior to March 1, 
 1977, may thereafter require that any or all bicycles used or 
 ridden upon any highway, street, alley, sidewalk or other public 
 property within the boundaries thereof shall be registered.  
 Applications for new registrations required pursuant to this 
 subdivision shall be made to the commissioner in the same manner 
 and subject to the same rules, fees and penalties as those made 
 voluntarily pursuant to section 168C.03. 

    Subd. 2.    Records of registration; notice of transfers. 
  Any political subdivision of the state which licensed or 
 registered bicycles prior to March 1, 1977, may after such date, 
 continue to maintain its licensing or registration records and 
 may require the owner of record as of March 1, 1977, of any 
 bicycle registered therewith on or prior to that date to notify 
 the political subdivision upon selling or otherwise transferring 
 ownership of the bicycle. 

    Subd. 3.    Registration of impounded bicycles upon sale. 
  A political subdivision that sells bicycles it has impounded 
 may require that the purchaser of an impounded bicycle register 
 the bicycle under section 168C.03 as a condition of the sale.
