8-1,119. Same; utility trailers, permanent registration; annual statement; identification devices; addition of trailers to fleet; cancellation of registration, when. The division shall provide for the registration of and the issuance of license plates for utility trailers in accordance with the provisions of this section. License plates issued under this section shall be permanent in nature and designed in such a manner as to remain with the utility trailer for the duration of the life span of the trailer or until the trailer is deleted from the owner's fleet. Such license plates shall be distinctive and there shall be no year date thereon. Trailers registered under the provisions of this section shall be issued a permanent registration cab card for the duration of the life span of the trailer or until the trailer is deleted from the owner's fleet. License plates issued under this section shall not be transferable to any other utility trailer. The division shall require the payment of all fees imposed pursuant to this act as though such trailers were registered annually. Every application for the registration of utility trailers shall be accompanied by a total fee payment equal to the amount obtained by applying the proportion of such trailers operated in this state to the total trailers in the fleet, to the fees which would otherwise be required for total fleet registration in this state plus the amount of fees required by this act for the issuance of identification devices for the vehicles in the fleet. The director shall require every owner of utility trailers registered pursuant to this act to file an annual statement each year during the period of registration, providing such information as the director deems necessary to determine the amount of fees owed for such year. If, in any year subsequent to the first year of a registration period, the number of trailers operated within this state increases, the director shall require the owner thereof to register such additional trailers for the remainder of the registration period. The director may at any time cancel the registration of any or all of the vehicles within a fleet of utility trailers for nonpayment of fees or for failure to file or provide information required pursuant to this act.
