      REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES OWNED OR OPERATED BY NONRESIDENTS.
         1.  A nonresident owner or operator engaged in remunerative
      employment within the state or carrying on business within the state
      and owning or operating a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer
      within the state shall register and maintain financial liability
      coverage as required under section 321.20B for each vehicle and pay
      the same fees for registration as are paid for like vehicles owned by
      residents of this state.  However, this paragraph does not apply to a
      person commuting from the person's residence in another state or
      whose employment is seasonal or temporary, not exceeding ninety days.

         2.  A nonresident owner of a motor vehicle operated within the
      state by a resident of the state shall register the vehicle and shall
      maintain financial liability coverage as required under section
      321.20B for the vehicle.  The nonresident owner shall pay the same
      fees for registration as are paid for like vehicles owned by
      residents of this state.  However, registration under this paragraph
      is not required for vehicles being operated by residents temporarily,
      not exceeding ninety days.  It is unlawful for a resident to operate
      within the state an unregistered motor vehicle required to be
      registered under this paragraph.
