AN ACT TO CHARGE MOTOR CARRIERS A FEE FOR OBTAINING A TEMPORARY PERMIT.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1. G.S. 105-449.49 is rewritten to read:

"§ 105-449.49. Temporary permits. - Upon application to the Secretary and payment of a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), a motor carrier may obtain a temporary permit authorizing the carrier to operate a vehicle in the State without a registration card and identification marker for not more than 20 days. A motor carrier to whom a temporary permit has been issued may elect not to report its operation of the vehicle during the twenty-day period, as otherwise required by G.S. 105-449.45. A motor carrier who files a report for a quarter in which the carrier paid a temporary permit fee may claim a credit for the amount of the fee. A motor carrier whose operations are exclusively intrastate may obtain a refund of the fee by filing a report for the quarter in which the fee was paid."

Sec. 2. G.S. 105-449.45 is amended by deleting the word "Every" and inserting in lieu thereof the phrase "Except as provided in G.S. 105-449.49, every".

Sec. 3. This act shall become effective January 1, 1983.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 18th day of June, 1982.
