Section 150-22-8 - Change of Name, Address and/or Ownership of Registrant

8.1. Procedures for registration changes.

Registration changes shall be governed by the following procedures:

8.1.1. If the registrant changes its name (not change of ownership for example a d/b/a is added, a d/b/a is changed or a sole proprietor or partners incorporates and are the stockholders of the new corporation) after the registration receipt has been issued, the registrant shall submit to the Commission a copy of the reentitlement issued by the ICC. The Commission shall require proof of insurance to be resubmitted in the new name before a replacement registration receipt shall be issued by the Commission. The Commission shall inform carriers that old copies of the registra-tion receipt carried in the cab of the motor vehicles must be replaced with the new copies and the old copies shall be destroyed by the motor carrier.

8.1.2. If the registrant changes its business address, the Commission will require filing of a copy of the notice (letter from the motor carrier to the ICC) submitted to the ICC for a similar change of address. If the business address change involves a street, route, box number or city only, the registrant shall notify the Commission in writing of that change. When the business address of the registrant has been changed, new proof of insurance must be filed with the Commission accordingly.

8.1.3. If the address change causes a new registration state to be selected, see section 3.00 of these procedures.

8.1.4. A registrant that changes its principal place of business from a state without reciprocity agreements for waiving of vehicle fees to a state with reciprocity agreements during the registration period will not be allowed any credit or refund of fees paid to its registration state.

8.1.5. When the interstate authority is transferred to new owners, the current registrant (old owners) must notify the Commission to cancel its registration. New owners shall be required to register with the Commis-sion like all new registrants. The registration receipts of the old owners will not be reissued in the name of the new owners.

8.1.6. When the registrant changes its name, address or ownership, the Commissions shall forward this information to all affected participating states when the Commission forwards the next monthly transmittal.
