(1) If the registration fee
				was delinquent at the time that the suspension became effective, the penalty
				shall continue to accrue on the registration fee until the suspension became
				lifted and the registration fee is paid. In addition, if the suspension was for
				failure to pay an additional registration fee, the additional registration fee
				shall be paid before the suspension is lifted.

				delinquent when the suspension became effective and the suspension is lifted
				after the beginning of another registration year, the annual registration fee
				for that year shall be due in the month the suspension is lifted. The penalty
				shall accrue on the registration fee the first day of the month following the
				month that the suspension was lifted. The annual registration fee on a
				recovered stolen vehicle for which the registration has been suspended shall be
				prorated for the remaining unexpired months of the registration year.
(3) If the registration fee was not
				delinquent at the time that the suspension became effective and the suspension
				is lifted during the same registration period, no additional registration fees
				shall be due unless the suspension was for failure to pay an additional
				registration fee, in which event the additional registration fee shall be paid
				before the suspension is lifted.
