The compacts, agreements, or arrangements may grant to the owners or operators of vehicles properly registered in the jurisdictions, with which made, privileges and exemptions substantially like and equal to those granted by such jurisdictions to owners or operators of vehicles properly registered in this state, and shall provide that the owners or operators of vehicles registered in this state who have complied with all the laws, rules and regulations of this state respecting registration, registration fees, taxes, fees and operation of motor vehicles within this state, including owners or operators who comply with the provisions of any compact, agreement or arrangement which provides for the payment of less than all the registration fees or taxes otherwise payable to this state, when using the highways of such other jurisdictions, shall receive substantially equal privileges and exemptions. The compacts, agreements or arrangements may exempt the owners or operators of such foreign registered vehicles, using the highways of this state, from the payment of any or all taxes, fees or other charges imposed by the laws of this state, or may provide for the payment of a proportional part of such taxes, fees or other charges, with such appropriate restrictions, conditions and privileges as the board in its discretion determines to be in the best interest of the health, welfare and safety of the people of this state. Before any owner or operator may become entitled to the privileges and exemptions of any compact, agreement or arrangement, the person first must have his vehicle or vehicles properly registered under the laws of the jurisdiction which the board, acting under section 5, determines to be proper for his vehicles or under the provisions of any compact, agreement or arrangement to which his jurisdiction is a party, and shall conspicuously display a legal registration plate upon each vehicle so registered as prescribed by the law of his jurisdiction or by the terms of any compact, agreement or arrangement, and the operator of each vehicle while in possession and control thereof shall have upon his person a certificate of registration, or other official evidence of compliance with the above requirements, issued for the vehicle.
