On page 2, after line 25, insert the following:
"Sec. 2. RCW 46.68.010 and 1993 c 307 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
Whenever any license
fee, paid under the provisions of this title, has been erroneously paid, either
wholly or in part, the payor is entitled to have refunded the amount so
erroneously paid. ((A renewal license fee paid prior to the actual
expiration date of the license being renewed shall be deemed to be erroneously
paid if the vehicle for which the renewal license was purchased is destroyed or
permanently removed from the state prior to the beginning date of the
registration period for which the renewal fee was paid.)) A license fee
is refundable in one or more of the following circumstances: (1) If the
vehicle for which the renewal license was purchased was destroyed before the
beginning date of the registration period for which the renewal fee was paid;
(2) if the vehicle for which the renewal license was purchased was permanently
removed from the state before the beginning date of the registration period for
which the renewal fee was paid; (3) if the vehicle license was purchased after
the owner has sold the vehicle; or (4) if the vehicle is currently licensed in
Washington and is subsequently licensed in another jurisdiction, any full
months of Washington fees between the date of license application in the other
jurisdiction and the expiration of the Washington license are refundable.
Upon such refund being certified to the state treasurer by the director as
correct and being claimed in the time required by law the state treasurer shall
mail or deliver the amount of each refund to the person entitled thereto. No
claim for refund shall be allowed for such erroneous payments unless filed with
the director within three years after such claimed erroneous payment was made.
If due to error a person has been required to pay a vehicle license fee under this title and an excise tax under Title 82 RCW that amounts to an overpayment of ten dollars or more, that person shall be entitled to a refund of the entire amount of the overpayment, regardless of whether a refund of the overpayment has been requested. If due to error the department or its agent has failed to collect the full amount of the license fee and excise tax due and the underpayment is in the amount of ten dollars or more, the department shall charge and collect such additional amount as will constitute full payment of the tax and fees.
Any person who makes a false statement under which he or she obtains a refund to which he or she is not entitled under this section is guilty of a gross misdemeanor."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
