or plans on behalf of the State of Vermont with the appropriate authorities of any
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

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

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
