house trailer, used exclusively by | ||||||
28 | the owner for recreational purposes,
and not used commercially | ||||||
29 | nor as a truck or bus, nor for hire, shall be
on a calendar year | ||||||
30 | basis; except that the Secretary of State shall
provide for | ||||||
31 | registration and the issuance of registration cards and
plates | ||||||
32 | or registration stickers, where applicable, for one 6-month
| ||||||
33 | period in order to accomplish an orderly transition from a | ||||||
34 | fiscal year
to a calendar year basis. Fees and taxes due under | ||||||
35 | this Act for a
registration year shall be appropriately reduced | ||||||
36 | for such 6-month
transitional registration period.
|
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | (h) The Secretary of State may, in order to accomplish an | ||||||
2 | orderly
transition for vehicles registered under Section | ||||||
3 | 3-402.1 of this Code from
a calendar year registration to a | ||||||
4 | March 31st expiration, require applicants
to pay fees and taxes | ||||||
5 | due under this Code on a 15 month registration basis.
However, | ||||||
6 | if in the discretion of the Secretary of State this creates an
| ||||||
7 | undue hardship on any applicant the Secretary may allow the | ||||||
8 | applicant to
pay 3 month fees and taxes at the time of | ||||||
9 | registration and the additional
12 month fees and taxes to be | ||||||
10 | payable no later than March 31 of the year
after this | ||||||
11 | amendatory Act of 1991 takes effect.
| ||||||
12 | (i) The Secretary of State may stagger registrations, of | ||||||
13 | vehicles for
which multi-year plates are issued pursuant to | ||||||
14 | Section 3-414.1, as necessary
for the convenience of the public | ||||||
15 | and the efficiency of his Office. In
order to appropriately and | ||||||
16 | effectively accomplish any such staggering, the
Secretary of | ||||||
17 | State is authorized to prorate required registration fees,
but | ||||||
18 | in no event for a period longer than 15 months, at a monthly | ||||||
19 | rate for
a 12 month registration fee.
| ||||||
20 | (j) Beginning with the 2006 registration year, the | ||||||
21 | Secretary of State
shall stagger registrations of trailers and | ||||||
22 | semitrailers that are not apportionable for which multi-year | ||||||
23 | plates are issued
under Section
3-414.1.
