13 New Section 1. All sales of vehicles required to be registered under
14 the provisions of article 1 of chapter 8 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated,

17 wide retailers' sales taxes.
18 Sec. 2. K.S.A. 12-198 is hereby amended to read as follows: 12-198.
19 (a) A compensating use tax for the privilege of using or storing within a
20 city or county any vehicle which is required to be registered under the

23 802, and amendments thereto, is hereby imposed by every city or county
24 imposing a retailers' sales tax. In the case of such vehicles, such tax shall
25 be collected by the county treasurer at the time the vehicle is registered
26 in this state following a sale occurring within or without this state. Reg-
27 istration of such vehicle within a taxing jurisdiction shall be deemed to
28 constitute use or storage thereof for compensating tax purposes and the
29 residence or place of business of the applicant shall be deemed to be the
30 situs of such use or storage for purposes of the collection and distribution
31 thereof. The rate of any such tax shall be fixed at the same rate as such
32 city's or county's retailers' sales tax. Any Except as otherwise provided in
33 this section, any city or county imposing a compensating use tax is pro-
34 hibited from administering or collecting such tax locally, but shall utilize
35 the services of the state department of revenue to administer, enforce
36 and collect such tax. Such tax shall be identical in its application and
37 exemptions therefrom to the Kansas compensating tax, and all laws and
38 rules and regulations of the state department of revenue relating to the
39 Kansas compensating tax shall apply to such local compensating use tax
40 insofar as the same may be made applicable.
41 (b) The secretary of revenue is authorized to administer, enforce and
42 collect a city's or county's compensating use tax and to adopt such rules
43 and regulations necessary for the efficient and effective administration,

6 credited to the city and county compensating use tax fund, which fund is

9 paid out of the sales tax refund fund and reimbursement to such fund
