THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
ARTICLE IV
Sec. 2. (1) In addition to the license fees or taxes otherwise
imposed upon motor carriers, there shall be assessed against and
collected from each motor carrier for the administration of this
act,
an annual fee of $100.00 $25.00
for each self-propelled
intrastate motor vehicle operated by or on behalf of the motor
carrier, except as otherwise provided in this subsection. A motor
carrier
shall pay a fee of only $50.00 $12.50
for each self-
propelled intrastate motor vehicle operated by or on behalf of the
motor carrier, if the motor carrier begins operation of the vehicle
after June 30 and has not previously paid a fee under this
subsection
for that vehicle. After payment of the $100.00 $25.00
annual
fee for an intrastate motor vehicle, or the $50.00 $12.50
fee
paid for a vehicle operated after June 30, or the $50.00 $12.50
fee paid for a vehicle used for the transportation of household
goods if a motor carrier seeks to begin operating a self-propelled
intrastate motor vehicle in place of another motor vehicle not
leased to the motor carrier by an owner operator for which a fee
was paid and surrenders the identification allocated to the motor
vehicle by the commission, accompanied by a fee of $10.00, a
replacement identification shall be issued. If the owner operator
replaces a vehicle while it is still leased to the same motor
carrier to whom it was leased when the identification was issued,
the replacement identification fee shall be $10.00. For each truck
or tractor used exclusively for the transportation of household
goods
as defined by the commission, the annual fee shall be $50.00
$12.50.
(2) The commission may issue a temporary 72-hour permit for
the operation of a vehicle subject to rules and conditions of the
commission at a fee of $10.00, which is in place of any other fee
otherwise required under this section. The commission shall reserve
the authority to deny or curtail the use of temporary permits
authorized by this section.
(3) A motor carrier shall not operate any motor vehicle upon
or over the highways of this state, except as otherwise provided in
this act, while any of the fees imposed by this act remain unpaid.
(4) Motor carriers subject to this act shall not be required
to pay the fee on operations of vehicles within the area described
in section 2(1)(a) of article V.
