• Art. 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS

Text

(a) An owner engaged in operating a fleet in this state in interstate commerce may, in lieu of registration of such fleet under the provisions of K.S.A. 8-126 to 8-149, inclusive, and amendments thereto, register such fleet for operation in this state upon payment of fees prescribed by this act and the filing of an application with the division of vehicles in a manner and upon a form prescribed by the division, or in accordance with the provisions of any apportioned fleet registration agreement made by this state. The application shall be signed by the owner, if an individual, or an officer or proper representative of an entity other than an individual, and such application shall contain the following and any other information pertinent to the registration of a fleet as the division of vehicles may require: (1) Name and base address of the owner of the fleet; (2) total fleet miles; and (3) a description of each fleet vehicle by year of manufacture, name of manufacturer, the identification or serial number, the declared gross weight of each motor vehicle, and the number of axles under each listed fleet vehicle.
(b) Fleet vehicles so registered shall be determined to be fully licensed and registered in this state, and shall be exempt from further registration and license fees under the provisions of K.S.A. 8-126 to 8-149, inclusive, and amendments thereto, but nothing in this act shall be deemed to relieve any owner of fleet vehicles operated in intrastate commerce in this state, from any duty to register and operate in conformity with requirements of the state corporation commission.
(c) If so authorized by any bilateral or multijurisdictional agreement lawfully entered into by the director of vehicles, the director may collect and forward applicable registration fees and applications to other jurisdictions and may take such other action on behalf of the applicant or another jurisdiction as will facilitate the administration of such agreements, including deposits for the state of Kansas and disbursal of refunds. Amounts collected under such agreements shall be remitted by the director to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the international registration plan clearing fund. Payments due and owing to member jurisdictions under any bilateral or multijurisdictional agreement and refunds for overpayment of fees shall be made from such fund. The director shall reconcile such clearing fund balances monthly and transfer the balance to the state highway fund. The funds shall be invested in the same manner as provided in K.S.A. 68-2324, and amendments thereto, and all earnings shall be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the state highway fund.
