(a) A carrier may, in lieu of paying the tax
imposed under this chapter that would otherwise result from the
operation of a particular commercial motor vehicle, obtain from the
department a trip permit authorizing the carrier to operate the
commercial motor vehicle for a period of five (5) consecutive days.
The department shall specify the beginning and ending days on the face
of the permit. The fee for a trip permit for each commercial motor
vehicle is fifty dollars ($50). The report otherwise required under
section 10 of this chapter is not required with respect to a vehicle for
which a trip permit has been issued under this subsection.
(b) The department may issue a temporary written authorization if
unforeseen or uncertain circumstances require operations by a carrier
of a commercial motor vehicle for which neither a trip permit described
in subsection (a) nor an annual permit described in section 12 of this
chapter has been obtained. A temporary authorization may be issued
only if the department finds that undue hardship would result if
operation under a temporary authorization were prohibited. A carrier
who receives a temporary authorization shall:
(1) pay the trip permit fee at the time the temporary authorization
is issued; or
(2) subsequently apply for and obtain an annual permit.
(c) A carrier may obtain an International Fuel Tax Agreement
(IFTA) repair and maintenance permit to:
(1) travel from another state into Indiana to repair or maintain any
of the carrier's motor vehicles, semitrailers (as defined in IC 9-13-2-164), or trailers (as defined in IC 9-13-2-184); and
(2) return to the same state after the repair or maintenance is
completed.
The permit allows the travel described in this section. In addition to any
other fee established in this chapter, and instead of paying the quarterly
motor fuel tax imposed under this chapter, a carrier may pay an annual
IFTA repair and maintenance fee of forty dollars ($40) and receive an
IFTA annual repair and maintenance permit. The IFTA annual repair
and maintenance permit and fee applies to all of the motor vehicles
operated by a carrier. The IFTA annual repair and maintenance permit
is not transferable to another carrier. A carrier may not carry cargo or
passengers under the IFTA annual repair and maintenance permit. All
fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited in the motor
carrier regulation fund (IC 8-2.1-23). The report otherwise required
under section 10 of this chapter is not required with respect to a motor
vehicle that is operated under an IFTA annual repair and maintenance
permit.
(d) A carrier may obtain an International Registration Plan (IRP)
repair and maintenance permit to:
(1) travel from another state into Indiana to repair or maintain any
of the carrier's motor vehicles, semitrailers (as defined in IC 9-13-2-164), or trailers (as defined in IC 9-13-2-184); and
(2) return to the same state after the repair or maintenance is
completed.
The permit allows the travel described in this section. In addition to any
other fee established in this chapter, and instead of paying apportioned
or temporary IRP fees under IC 9-18.1, a carrier may pay an annual IRP
repair and maintenance fee of forty dollars ($40) and receive an IRP
annual repair and maintenance permit. The IRP annual repair and
maintenance permit and fee apply to all of the motor vehicles operated
by a carrier. The IRP annual repair and maintenance permit is not
transferable to another carrier. A carrier may not carry cargo or
passengers under the IRP annual repair and maintenance permit. All
fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited in the motor
carrier regulation fund (IC 8-2.1-23).
(e) A person may obtain a repair and maintenance permit to:
(1) move an unregistered off-road vehicle from a quarry or mine
to a maintenance or repair facility; and
(2) return the unregistered off-road vehicle to its place of origin.
The fee for the permit is forty dollars ($40). The permit is an annual
permit and applies to all unregistered off-road vehicles from the same
quarry or mine.
(f) A carrier may obtain a repair, maintenance, and relocation permit
to:
(1) move a yard tractor from a terminal or loading or spotting
facility to:
(A) a maintenance or repair facility; or
(B) another terminal or loading or spotting facility; and
(2) return the yard tractor to its place of origin.
The fee for the permit is forty dollars ($40). The permit is an annual
permit and applies to all yard tractors operated by the carrier. The
permit is not transferable to another carrier. A carrier may not carry
cargo or transport or draw a semitrailer or other vehicle under the
permit. A carrier may operate a yard tractor under the permit instead of
paying the tax imposed under this chapter. As used in this subsection,
"yard tractor" refers to a tractor that is used to move semitrailers around
a terminal or a loading or spotting facility. The term also refers to a
tractor that is operated on a highway with a permit issued under this
section if the tractor is ordinarily used to move semitrailers around a
terminal or spotting facility.
(g) The department shall establish procedures, by rules adopted
under IC 4-22-2, for:
(1) the issuance and use of trip permits, temporary authorizations,
and repair and maintenance permits; and
(2) the display in commercial motor vehicles of evidence of
compliance with this chapter.
