Page 1 of 2 186.040 Issuance of certificate of registration -- Plates -- Clerk's fee -- Donations to child care assistance account -- Additional fees and distribution. (1) Upon receiving the application and fee, the county clerk shall issue to the owner a certificate of registration containing the information required by subsection (2) of
this section and a registration plate. If the cabinet finds that there is a shortage of
materials suitable for making plates, or that a substantial saving will result, it may
require by regulation with the approval of the Governor that previously issued plates
continue to be used for a designated period. Except as provided in subsection (3) of
this section, for services performed, the owner shall pay the county clerk the sum of
six dollars ($6) for each registration, or if the registration exceeds a twelve (12)
month period, the clerk shall receive a fee of nine dollars ($9). (2) The certificate of registration shall contain the registration number, the name and post office address of the owner, and such other information as the cabinet may
require. (3) An owner who registers a vehicle under KRS 186.050 that has a declared gross vehicle weight with any towed unit of forty-four thousand and one (44,001) pounds
or greater shall pay the county clerk thirty dollars ($30) for each registration. The
clerk shall retain the thirty dollar ($30) fee for services performed under this
subsection. (4) Any person requesting a certificate of registration or renewal of registration of any type of motor vehicle shall have the opportunity to donate one dollar ($1) to the
child care assistance account. The one dollar ($1) donation shall be added to the
regular fee for vehicle registration. One donation may be made per issuance or
renewal of vehicle registration. Donation to the child care assistance account shall
be voluntary and may be refused by the applicant at the time of the issuance or
renewal of any vehicle registration. (5) The county clerk may retain five percent (5%) of fees collected for the child care assistance account under subsection (4) of this section. The remaining funds shall
be deposited into a trust and agency account in the State Treasury to the credit of the
Cabinet for Health and Family Services for the exclusive use as follows:
(a) Funds shall be made available to the agencies that administer child care subsidy funds; and (b) Funds shall be used as determined by the cabinet for working families whose income exceeds the state income eligibility limits for child day care
assistance. (6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to the registration fee provided for county clerks in subsections (1) and (3) of this section, an additional
three dollars ($3) per registration shall be collected by the county clerk at the time
of registration. This additional fee shall be distributed as follows:
(a) One dollar ($1) shall be placed in an agency fund to provide additional funds exclusively for technological improvements or replacement of the AVIS
system. The operation and maintenance of AVIS shall remain as currently Page 2 of 2 provided for from the operational budget of the Transportation Cabinet and
shall not be reduced below the 2005-2006 funding level; (b) One dollar ($1) shall be placed in an agency trust fund to provide funds exclusively for technological improvements to the hardware and software in
county clerk offices related to the collection and administration of road fund
taxes. The Transportation Cabinet, in consultation with county clerks, shall
allocate funds as necessary from this fund to be used for this exclusive
purpose; and (c) One dollar ($1) shall be placed in a trust fund to be maintained by the Transportation Cabinet to provide an unrestricted revenue supplement, for
operations of the office related to the collection and administration of road
fund taxes, to county clerk offices in counties containing a population of less
than twenty thousand (20,000), as determined by the decennial census, and for
no other purpose. Annually, by March 1, the Transportation Cabinet shall
calculate the amount collected in the previous calendar year and distribute the
entire fund proportionate to each county that qualifies under this paragraph
based on population. This revenue shall be considered current year revenue
when paid to the clerk and shall not be identified as excess fees from the
previous year. Effective: January 1, 2007
