32-9-17.1. Denial of registration or title to certain commercial motor carriers--Suspension or revocation or registration or permit--Conditions for issuance or restoration. The department or its agent shall refuse to issue a registration, license plate, permit, or a certificate of title or to transfer any title on a vehicle licensed under chapter 32-9 or 32-10 that has been assigned to a commercial motor carrier who has been prohibited from operating by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. However, the department or its agent may allow a commercial motor carrier, who has been prohibited from operating by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, to transfer a title if the commercial motor carrier does not retain an interest, either directly or indirectly, in the vehicle.
The department or its agent may suspend, revoke, or remove the registration, plate, or any permit issued to any vehicle assigned to a commercial motor carrier who has been prohibited from operating by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
If the prohibition by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is rescinded, the department or its agent may issue a registration, license plate, permit, or a certificate of title to the vehicle provided all other taxes and fees have been paid to the department.
