A. At any time that a mortgagee repossesses a vehicle on which the registration has become delinquent as of the date of such repossession, the mortgagee shall not be required, as a condition for registration of said vehicle, to pay the penalties which had accrued as of the date of such repossession otherwise prescribed in this act. Provided that said penalties shall not be waived unless such vehicle is registered by the mortgagee within five (5) days after it is repossessed. Provided further, that if the mortgagor, or spouse, becomes the owner of the vehicle within ninety (90) days from the date of repossession, the penalty shall reattach and be paid when the new title is applied for.
B. Upon each vehicle repossessed by a mortgagee, a fee of Forty-six Dollars ($46.00) shall be assessed. This fee shall be in lieu of any applicable vehicle excise tax and registration fees. Each motor license agent accepting applications for certificates of title for such vehicles shall receive Seven Dollars ($7.00) to be deducted from the license fee specified in this subsection for each application accepted.
