Text

1. (a) This chapter does not apply to the
following:
(1) Motor vehicles used as school buses while engaged in the
transportation of students, under the supervision, control, and
direction of school authorities.
(2) Motor vehicles used exclusively as taxicabs.
(3) Motor vehicles while being used or operated under the
control, direction, and supervision of:
(A) the United States government, the state, or a political
subdivision; or
(B) the board of trustees of any state institution.
(4) Motor vehicles that are used to provide limited transportation
services in conjunction with the operation of a hotel, campground,
or food service facility but are not used as a common carrier. For
the purpose of this subdivision, compensation for housing,
camping, or food combined with transportation is not
transportation by motor vehicle for compensation. However,
transportation may not be performed for any person if, at the point
of origin or within twenty-five (25) miles of that point, there is an
equipment point as shown by a proper tariff of a carrier of
passengers in Indiana that operates special or charter bus service
under the jurisdiction of the department. Exemption from this
chapter is not available under this subdivision unless the motor
vehicles in question are provided with proof of financial
responsibility of the type and in amounts as required of common
carriers under IC 8-2.1-22-46.
(5) Motor vehicles that are used to provide regular route intercity
passenger service.
(6) Motor vehicles that are used primarily for van pooling or other
ride-sharing programs on a nonprofit basis.
(7) Motor vehicles that are used to provide transportation of
passengers by a nonprofit corporation if that corporation receives
revenue for the transportation service from federal, state, or local
governments.
(8) A motor vehicle that:
(A) has a capacity of not less than seven (7) or more than forty
(40) persons;
(B) is used to transport employees, including the driver,
exclusively between their homes and their employer's place of
business, or termini near those places, in a single daily round
trip; and
(C) is owned or leased by an employer providing commuter van
service, which means any person who provides or operates at
least one (1) of those vehicles on a nonprofit basis, and whose
service does not infringe upon or compete with any service that
is provided by any common carrier regulated by the department.
(9) Motor vehicles certified as ambulances by the Indiana
emergency medical services commission under IC 16-31.
(10) The casual, occasional, or reciprocal transportation of
household effects or furniture for compensation, not including the
transportation for hire of new household effects or furniture to or
from a factory, warehouse, or store, by a person who:
(A) does not otherwise engage in the described transportation
for compensation;
(B) is not required under this chapter to hold a certificate to
engage in transportation or operation for hire; or
(C) does not profess to engage in the business of transporting
household effects or furniture for hire.
(b) This chapter does not apply to a limousine while the limousine
is being used to transport at least one (1) person:
(1) from a place of departure; and
(2) to a destination;
within the corporate boundaries of a city or town if the legislative body
of the city or town has adopted an ordinance under IC 36-9-2-4 that
takes effect after July 1, 1991, and that regulates limousines within the
corporate boundaries of the city or town.
