§271-21  Tariffs of common carriers by motor
vehicle.  (a) Every common carrier by motor vehicle shall file with the
public utilities commission, and print, and keep open to public inspection,
tariffs showing all the rates, fares, and charges for transportation, and all
services in connection therewith, of passengers or property.  The rates, fares,
and charges shall be stated in terms of lawful money of the United States.  The
tariffs required by this section shall be published, filed, and posted in such
form and manner, and shall contain such information as the commission by
regulations shall prescribe; and the commission may reject any tariff filed
with it which is not in consonance with this section and with the regulations. 
Any tariff so rejected by the commission shall be void and its use shall be
unlawful.



(b)  No common carrier by motor vehicle shall
charge or demand or collect or receive a greater or less or different
compensation for transportation or for any service in connection therewith
between the points enumerated in the tariff than the rates, fares, and charges
specified in the tariffs in effect at the time; and no carrier shall refund or
remit in any manner or by any device, directly or indirectly, or through any
agent, or otherwise, any portion of the rates, fares, or charges so specified,
or extend to any person any privileges or facilities for transportation except
such as are specified in its tariffs.



(c)  No change shall be made in any rate, fare,
charge, or classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting the
rate, fare, charge, or classification, or the value of the service thereunder,
specified in any effective tariff of a common carrier by motor vehicle; except
after thirty days' notice of the proposed change filed and posted in accordance
with subsection (a) of this section.  The notice shall plainly state the change
proposed to be made and the time when it will take effect.  The commission may
in its discretion and for good cause shown allow the change upon notice less
than that herein specified or modify the requirements of this section with
respect to posting and filing of tariffs either in particular instances or by
general order applicable to special or peculiar circumstances or conditions.



(d)  No common carrier by motor vehicle shall
engage in the transportation of passengers or property unless the rates, fares,
and charges upon which the same are transported by the carrier have been filed
and published in accordance with this chapter. [L 1961, c 121, pt of §2; Supp,
