        321I.35  VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.         1.  The department may assign a distinguishing number to an      all-terrain vehicle when the serial number on the all-terrain vehicle      is destroyed or obliterated and issue to the owner a special plate      bearing the distinguishing number which shall be affixed to the      all-terrain vehicle in a position to be determined by the department.      The all-terrain vehicle shall be registered and titled under the      distinguishing number in lieu of the former serial number.  Every      all-terrain vehicle shall have a vehicle identification number      assigned and affixed as required by the department.         2.  The commission shall adopt, by rule, the procedures for      application and for issuance of a vehicle identification number for      homebuilt all-terrain vehicles.         3.  A person shall not destroy, remove, alter, cover, or deface      the manufacturer's vehicle identification number, the plate bearing      it, or any vehicle identification number the department assigns to an      all-terrain vehicle without the department's permission.         4.  A person other than a manufacturer who constructs or rebuilds      an all-terrain vehicle for which there is no legible vehicle      identification number shall submit to the department an affidavit      which describes the all-terrain vehicle.  In cooperation with the      county recorder, the department shall assign a vehicle identification      number to the all-terrain vehicle.  The applicant shall permanently      affix the vehicle identification number to the all-terrain vehicle in      a manner that such alteration, removal, or replacement of the vehicle      identification number would be obvious.
