If a snowmobile is sold by a licensed dealer, the dealer may provide a temporary forty-five day license permit which is a permit to operate the snowmobile in this state for a period of forty-five days after the date of sale or until the time the purchaser receives the regular license decals from the county treasurer, whichever occurs first. No dealer may use the permit upon any snowmobile owned by the dealer or for any purpose other than for snowmobiles sold by the dealer. No person may renew the temporary license permit nor change or alter the date or other information on the permit. A violation of this section is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
