2. (b) The bureau shall issue to a person described in subsection (a) an amended certificate of registration and the appropriate license plate after the person pays the following:

   1. (1) A fee of nine dollars and fifty cents ($9.50). The fee shall be distributed as follows:

      1. (A) Twenty-five cents ($0.25) to the state construction fund.

   2. (2) Any additional excise taxes owed under IC 6-6 on the vehicle to which the registration is transferred.
   3. (3) If the vehicle was registered as a farm semitrailer, a fee of forty-one dollars ($41). The fee shall be distributed to the motor vehicle highway account.

   4. (4) If the vehicle was registered as a farm vehicle other than a farm semitrailer, the amount determined under the following formula:

      STEP ONE: Determine the number of months between:

      1. (i) the date on which the farm vehicle is registered as a vehicle other than a farm vehicle or is operated in the conduct of a commercial enterprise; and

      2. (ii) the next registration date under IC 9-18.1-11 of the farm vehicle.

         A partial month shall be rounded to one (1) month.

         STEP TWO: Multiply the STEP ONE result by one-twelfth (1/12).

         STEP THREE: Determine the product of:

      3. (i) the STEP TWO result; multiplied by

      4. (ii) the applicable fee under IC 9-18.1-5 for the classification to which the vehicle's registration is changed.

         The amount determined under this subdivision shall be deposited in the motor vehicle highway account.
