Sec. 21-10. Town ordinances. Registration with Department of Motor Vehicles. Any town may make reasonable ordinances with reference to the licensing of junk
dealers engaged in business therein, including the imposition of a license fee in an
amount to be fixed by the selectmen at a sum not less than two dollars nor more than
ten dollars a year, for each team or vehicle used in connection with such business, for
the privilege of carrying on such business. Each such junk dealer shall register with the
Department of Motor Vehicles, stating his name, residence and post-office address, and
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall issue to him a certificate of such registration,
which certificate shall be exhibited by such dealer to the selectmen or other authority
to whom he makes application in any town for a license to carry on business therein.
Except as otherwise provided by special act, and except where there exists a duly constituted local zoning or planning commission, any town, city or borough may, by ordinance,
regulate the establishment, location or conduct of any junk yard within its territorial
limits.

History: P.A. 73-14 substituted motor vehicle department for state police department where appearing; (Revisor's
note: In 1997 references throughout the general statutes to "Motor Vehicle(s) Commissioner" and "Motor Vehicle(s)
Department" were replaced editorially by the Revisors with "Commissioner of Motor Vehicles" or "Department of Motor
Vehicles", as the case may be, for consistency with customary statutory usage).
