|
|
(c) The commission shall require a bond or other financial |
|

|
|
(p) The commission shall annually issue a registration |
|
|
insignia to each used or scrap tire transporter. The used or scrap |
|
|

|
|

|
|
annually on a date specified by the commission. The commission may |
|
|
adopt rules for issuing duplicate and multiple insignia. |
