<![CDATA[ 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 <br>this section and a registration plate. If the cabinet finds that there is a shortage of <br>materials suitable for making plates, or that a substantial saving will result, it may <br>require by regulation with the approval of the Governor that previously issued plates <br>continue to be used for a designated period. Except as provided in subsection (3) of <br>this section, for services performed, the owner shall pay the county clerk the sum of <br>six dollars ($6) for each registration, or if the registration exceeds a twelve (12) <br>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 <br>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 <br>or greater shall pay the county clerk thirty dollars ($30) for each registration. The <br>clerk shall retain the thirty dollar ($30) fee for services performed under this <br>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 <br>child care assistance account. The one dollar ($1) donation shall be added to the <br>regular fee for vehicle registration. One donation may be made per issuance or <br>renewal of vehicle registration. Donation to the child care assistance account shall <br>be voluntary and may be refused by the applicant at the time of the issuance or <br>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 <br>be deposited into a trust and agency account in the State Treasury to the credit of the <br>Cabinet for Health and Family Services for the exclusive use as follows: <br>(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 <br>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 <br>three dollars ($3) per registration shall be collected by the county clerk at the time <br>of registration. This additional fee shall be distributed as follows: <br>(a) One dollar ($1) shall be placed in an agency fund to provide additional funds exclusively for technological improvements or replacement of the AVIS <br>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 <br>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 <br>county clerk offices related to the collection and administration of road fund <br>taxes. The Transportation Cabinet, in consultation with county clerks, shall <br>allocate funds as necessary from this fund to be used for this exclusive <br>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 <br>operations of the office related to the collection and administration of road <br>fund taxes, to county clerk offices in counties containing a population of less <br>than twenty thousand (20,000), as determined by the decennial census, and for <br>no other purpose. Annually, by March 1, the Transportation Cabinet shall <br>calculate the amount collected in the previous calendar year and distribute the <br>entire fund proportionate to each county that qualifies under this paragraph <br>based on population. This revenue shall be considered current year revenue <br>when paid to the clerk and shall not be identified as excess fees from the <br>previous year.
