and truck tractors; fees; application; limitations; plate display; laws
applicable; act supplemental; disposition of fees.
A motor vehicle dealer licensed in this state or in a state contiguous
to this state, who is the owner of a truck or truck tractor which
the owner desires to demonstrate under actual working conditions by having it
operated by the prospective purchaser in interstate or intrastate commerce
on the highways of this state, in lieu of obtaining a regular
registration for such vehicle, may obtain from the division, or an agent
designated by director of vehicles, a trip permit authorizing such
demonstration and operation for a period of: (a) Seventy-two hours upon
making proper application and the payment of a fee of $26;
or (b) fifteen days upon making proper application and the payment of a fee
of $100. A dealer may purchase such demonstration permits in multiples of
three upon making proper application and the payment of required fees. The
application shall be to the division on a form prescribed and
furnished by the director of vehicles. The name of the prospective
purchaser must be shown on the application.
A dealer purchasing permits
in multiples, shall complete the application and permit as required by the
division and mail a copy of such application to the division within 24 hours
from the date of issuance of such permit.
Only one such permit may be used by the same prospective purchaser on the
same truck or truck tractor. Whenever a truck or truck tractor is operated
under the authority of a trip permit issued hereunder it also shall have
displayed thereon a dealer's registration plate which has been issued by
this state or a state contiguous to this state to the dealer who is the
owner of such truck or truck tractor. The provision of K.S.A. 8-136, and
amendments thereto, prohibiting the
hauling of commodities in excess
of two tons by a vehicle displaying a dealer plate shall not apply to a
truck or truck tractor being operated under a trip permit as authorized by
this section. This section shall be construed as a part of and
supplementary to the motor vehicle registration law of this state. The
division shall remit all fees
collected under this section 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
state highway
fund.
