  • (a) The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles is authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements

    of the states of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any state or province
    of any country providing for the registration of commercial vehicles on an apportionment
    or allocation basis and may, in the exercise of this authority, enter into and become
    a member of the International Registration Plan. Any such reciprocal agreement or
    Plan may provide for but shall not be limited to the following: (1) full reciprocity in accordance with such agreement or Plan for commercial vehicles
    not based in Vermont, operated solely in interstate commerce and of specified types
    or gross weights, in exchange for equivalent reciprocity for Vermont-based commercial
    vehicles; (2) reciprocal exchange of audits of records of the owners of such commercial vehicles
    by the states participating in such agreement or Plan; (3) any other matters that would facilitate the administration of such agreement or Plan,
    including exchange of information for audits, enforcement activities, and collection
    and disbursement of proportional registration fees for other jurisdictions in the
    case of Vermont-based commercial vehicles. (b) Any reciprocity agreement, arrangement, or declaration relating to commercial vehicles
    in effect between this State and any jurisdiction not a party to such reciprocal agreement
    or Plan, or that relates to any matters not covered in such reciprocal agreement or
    Plan, shall continue in force and effect until specifically amended or revoked as
    provided by law. (c) At such time as the State of Vermont may enter into and become a member of the International
    Registration Plan pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the provisions of said
    Plan that are concerned with the registration of any vehicle or the fees that relate
    to any such registration shall control whenever any provision of law conflicts with
