(4) The commercial vehicle temporary registration placard shall be placed on a truck tractor or motor truck in the same manner as a regular license plate. The temporary <br>placard shall be issued if a permanent registration issued pursuant to KRS 186.050 <br>or temporary registration issued pursuant to KRS 186A.100 cannot be obtained. (5) The use of a commercial vehicle temporary placard shall be limited to the following activities: <br>(a) A demonstration of the truck tractor or motor truck to a prospective purchaser; <br>(b) The transportation of the truck tractor or motor truck to a facility engaged in the customizing of a motor vehicle for eventual use on the highway; (c) The transportation of the truck tractor or motor truck to a trade show or other activity designed to promote the selling of the product; or (d) The transportation of the truck tractor or motor truck by a purchaser to a location outside Kentucky, provided that the truck tractor or motor truck is not <br>eligible to be registered in Kentucky. (6) Each manufacturer, dealer, or distributor receiving the temporary placards shall maintain a record of use for each temporary placard to include the following: <br>(a) The make and model of each motor vehicle and the vehicle identification number or other identification number of each vehicle on which a placard is <br>used; (b) The date the placard was issued and the registration number of the placard; <br>(c) The address of the final destination and reason for movement of the truck tractor or motor truck receiving the temporary placard; and (d) A record of insurance coverage or a binder for insurance coverage issued to the recipient of the temporary placard. (7) A commercial vehicle temporary placard shall not be activated until it is placed upon the truck tractor or motor truck and used in a manner as authorized by Page 2 of 2 subsection (5) of this section. The commercial vehicle temporary placard shall <br>expire thirty (30) days after it is activated and placed in use on a truck tractor or <br>motor truck and shall be designed in a manner that an expiration date shall be noted <br>clearly on the face of the placard.

While the lead-in language for this statute in 2008 Ky. Acts ch. 176, sec. 1 provided that "A NEW SECTION KRS <br>186 (sic) IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:" it is clear that a new statute <br>was actually being created and the Reviser of Statutes has codified it as such to <br>effectuate that intent. ]]>
