Official Text and Analysis.

Makes it a gross misdemeanor either to register an off-road vehicle (ORV) or snowmobile in another state, or to hold a manufacturer's statement of origin for an ORV or snowmobile and not apply for a certificate of title within 15 days of entering Washington, for the purpose of avoiding Washington taxes and fees.

Removes the reference to titling a snowmobile in Washington since current law does not require the titling of snowmobiles. (2) Clarifies that the gross misdemeanor also applies in situations when a person obtains a permit for use of an ORV or snowmobile in another state in order to avoid Washington taxes and fees; the original bill only considered registration in another state. (3) Adds an administrative fine of 100 dollars per day assessed to any manufacturer that fails to submit the required listing of warranties to the department of licensing (DOL) by the last business day in January. Directs the State Treasurer to deposit the fines to the Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities Program Account and to the Snowmobile Account in proportion to the number of ORV and snowmobile registrations in the preceding calendar year.

Delays the administrative fine of $100 per day assessed to motorsports vehicle manufacturers to the day after the first business day in February, which is the deadline by which such manufacturers are required to submit a listing of all warranties of vehicles sold by out-of-state dealers to Washington residents in the previous calendar year.

Senate concurred in House amendments.
