(a) As used in this section, "rental" means the delivery of possession within this state for a unit for consideration for a period of less than thirty (30) days. (b) Owners of fleets of rental trucks and truck tractors may designate to the commissioner for allocation their respective rental fleets. Each such designation shall disclose the number of units in the owner's rental fleet. Each owner of a fleet of rental trucks and truck tractors so designated to the commissioner shall register in this state a proportional part of the owner's rental fleet, which proportional part shall be determined by dividing the mileage of all units in the designated fleet driven in this state during the year ending on the preceding August 31, by the total mileage of all units in the designated fleet during the same period. (c) No such fleet of trucks shall include less than five (5) units, and these fleets shall include only units maintained solely for rental purposes. (d) The commissioner may promulgate reasonable rules for the furnishing of data by owners of rental fleets respecting the units which constitute each rental fleet, the number of miles traveled in this state by units of each fleet, and the total mileage of all units in each designated fleet, in order to determine proper allocation of each rental fleet for registration in this state.
