§ 27-51-11. Ad valorem tax receipts to be presented before road and bridge privilege license issued; reports; penalties; auditing of tax collectors.
 

In cases where the road and bridge privilege tax license is issued by the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, before he shall issue such license he shall require that a tax receipt, made out on the prescribed form and properly issued, be presented to him showing that all ad valorem taxes due on such motor vehicle have been paid according to the situs of the subject motor vehicle as shown by the written application for such privilege license. If the application for such privilege license reveals that the situs of the subject motor vehicle is in a municipality, then the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, before issuing the privilege license, shall require that a tax receipt made out on the prescribed form and properly issued be presented to him showing that such ad valorem taxes due have also been paid. The administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law shall secure a rubber stamp to be used in stamping each such ad valorem tax receipt so presented to him. This stamp shall show the date of issuance and the receipt number of the privilege license issued for each corresponding ad valorem tax receipt, date and license receipt number to be filled in with ink, or with indelible pencil, by and in the name of the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law and countersigned by the issuing deputy or clerk. The number of the corresponding ad valorem tax receipt presented shall be written by him on the privilege license receipt. In cases where a separate municipal ad valorem tax receipt for motor vehicles is necessary, the same procedure as outlined herein shall be followed with reference to the municipal tax receipt. 
 

The administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, his deputies or clerks violating the provisions of this section shall be liable on their official bonds in double the amount of the ad valorem taxes due on each such motor vehicle. 
 

Twice each fiscal year the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law shall prepare and retain a report showing the privilege license receipt number, the corresponding ad valorem tax receipt number or numbers, and the name under which such license receipt was issued, for each such license receipt issued by him. A separate report shall be made for each county involved, and a duplicate copy of such report shall be furnished the respective tax collector of each county involved, and the tax collector of each municipality in the county. One (1) of these reports shall be made on or before May 15 covering all such license receipts issued by him for the then current fiscal year, including those issued through the month of April. Another such report shall be made on or before November 15 covering all such license receipts issued by him for the remaining portion of the immediately prior fiscal year. 
 

The aforesaid reports shall be made available to the State Auditor upon request, and, in auditing the tax collector for the corresponding fiscal year, such tax receipts indicated on these reports shall be reconciled with the corresponding ad valorem tax receipt number in the office of the tax collector.
