This subdivision applies to an individual who was registered before December 31, 2019, but whose registration is not current as of December 31, 2019. When the individual first renews the registration after January 1, 2020, the conversion renewal cycle begins on the date the individual applies for renewal and ends on the last day of the registrant's month of birth in the same year, except that if the last day of the individual's month of birth is less than six months after the date the individual applies for renewal, then the renewal period ends on the last day of the individual's month of birth in the following year.

Subd. 5.Conversion period and fees.
(a) A registrant who holds a registration issued before January 1, 2020, and who renews that registration pursuant to subdivision 2 or 3, shall pay a renewal fee as required in this subdivision.
(b) A registrant shall be charged the annual registration fee listed in section147E.40for the conversion registration period.
(c) For a registrant whose conversion registration period is six to 11 months, the first annual registration fee charged after the conversion registration period shall be adjusted to credit the excess fee payment made during the conversion registration period. The credit is calculated by: (1) subtracting the number of months of the registrant's conversion registration period from 12; and (2) multiplying the result of clause (1) by 1/12 of the annual fee rounded up to the next dollar.
(d) For a registrant whose conversion registration period is 12 months, the first annual registration fee charged after the conversion registration period shall not be adjusted.
(e) For a registrant whose conversion registration period is 13 to 17 months, the first annual registration fee charged after the conversion registration period shall be adjusted to add the annual registration fee payment for the months that were not included in the annual registration fee paid for the conversion registration period. The added payment is calculated by: (1) subtracting 12 from the number of months of the registrant's conversion registration period; and (2) multiplying the result of clause (1) by 1/12 of the annual fee rounded up to the next dollar.
(f) For the second and all subsequent registration renewals made after the conversion registration period, the registrant's annual registration fee is as listed in section147E.40.
