§ 66-3-22. Re-registration; change in declared gross weight
A. Any vehicle or combination registered at a declared gross weight may be re-registered
at a higher weight upon payment of the difference between the paid registration fee
and the new registration fee. The amount shall be prorated on a quarterly basis, with any fraction of a quarter-year
to be considered a full quarter. In no event shall the amount be less than five dollars ($5.00). B. When a vehicle or combination has been altered, or from which equipment has been
removed to meet legal requirements, and thus will not operate at the current declared
gross weight, the registrant may apply for a lowering of the declared gross weight. Upon approval, the registrant shall be refunded a sum equal to the difference between
the fee paid for the current registration period and the revised registration fee
for the same period, multiplied by the fraction of the whole period remaining, calculated
on the basis of the number of complete quarter-years remaining after the date of the
application for changed registration.
