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

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