(1) A certificate of insurance or surety bond executed by the applicant's insurer or surety, or order of the division approving self-insurance by the applicant, which certifies that the applicant is covered against personal injury and property damage liability, except damage to property transported as cargo by the applicant, resulting from negligent motor vehicle operations by the applicant in this state, which is completed and filed in the prescribed form, manner and amount and is approved by the division in accordance with rules of the division pursuant to section 390.126 ;

2. One of the division's administrative law judges shall determine on the basis of the information filed by the applicant, evidence submitted by the division staff, and any other information received by the division and filed of record in the case, whether the applicant is in compliance and willing to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to registration, licensing, liability insurance, safety and hazardous materials, which are applicable to the applicant's motor vehicles, drivers or operations as a registered property carrier by motor vehicle. If the administrative law judge determines that the applicant is qualified, the application shall be granted and a property carrier registration shall be issued without a hearing. If the administrative law judge determines that the information on record concerning the applicant's qualifications is not adequate to finally determine the application, the division may investigate the applicant's qualifications more thoroughly before the administrative law judge makes a final determination of the application. If the administrative law judge or the division staff opposes the issuance of a property carrier registration, then a hearing shall be held, not more than twenty days after a request for hearing by the applicant, to determine the merits of the application and whether a property carrier registration shall be issued. The administrative law judge shall determine the application not more than forty-five days after the close of the hearing, or else the application shall be approved.
3. The division shall not restrict the property carrier registration with reference to any specific commodities, routes or service, except that the division shall restrict the applicant's property carrier registration against the transportation of household goods, and shall further restrict against any hazardous material as designated in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, if the division finds that the applicant has not shown it is qualified to safely transport that hazardous material in compliance with all registration, liability insurance and safety requirements applicable to the transportation of that hazardous material pursuant to Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations.
