"Sec. 2. RCW 81.80.300 and 1985 c 7 s 152 are each amended to read as follows:
The commission shall prescribe an identification cab card and identification decal or stamp or number which must be carried within the cab of each motive power vehicle of each motor carrier required to have a permit under this chapter.
The identification cab card and the decal or stamp or number provided for herein may be in such form and contain such information as required by the commission.
It
shall be unlawful for any "common carrier" or "contract
carrier" to operate any motor vehicle within this state unless there is
carried within the cab of the motive power vehicle, either operating as a solo
vehicle or in combination with trailers, the identification cab card and decal
or stamp or number required by this section and the payment by such carrier of
a total fee of ((three)) up to ten dollars for each such decal or
stamp or number plus the applicable gross weight fee prescribed by RCW 81.80.320:
PROVIDED, That as to equipment operated between points in this state and points
outside the state exclusively in interstate commerce, and as to equipment
operated between points in this state and points outside the state in
interstate commerce as well as points within this state in intrastate commerce,
the commission may adopt rules and regulations specifying an alternative
schedule of fees to that specified in RCW 81.80.320 as it may find to be
reasonable and specifying the method of evidencing payment of such fees.
The commission may adopt rules and regulations imposing a reduced schedule of fees for short term operations, requiring reports of carriers, and imposing such conditions as the public interest may require with respect to the operation of such vehicles.
The commission shall not be required to collect the excise tax prescribed by RCW 82.44.020 for any fees collected under this chapter.
The decal or stamp or number required herein shall be issued annually under the rules and regulations of the commission, and shall be affixed to the identification cab card required by this section not later than February 1st of each year: PROVIDED, That such decal or stamp or number may be issued for the ensuing calendar year on and after the first day of November preceding and may be used from the date of issue until February 1st of the succeeding calendar year for which the same was issued.
It shall be unlawful for the owner of said permit, his agent, servant or employee, or any other person to use or display any identification cab card and decal or stamp or number, the permit number or other insignia of authority from the commission after said permit has expired, been canceled or disposed of, or to operate any vehicle under permit without such identification cab card and decal or stamp or number.
The commission shall collect all fees provided in this section, and all such fees shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the public service revolving fund."
