10.33is greater; provided that, a vehicle transporting unfinished forest products on a highway,
10.34other than a highway that is part of the system of interstate and defense highways, unless a
10.35federal exemption is granted, in accordance with paragraph (d)(3):
11.1(1) shall not exceed its gross vehicle weight upon which the license tax has been
11.2paid, or gross axle weight on any axle, by more than five percent and, notwithstanding
11.3other law to the contrary, is not subject to any fee, fine, or other assessment or penalty for
11.4exceeding a gross vehicle or axle weight by up to five percent; and
11.5(2) between the dates set by the commissioner in accordance with section 169.826,
11.6subdivision 1 , is not subject to any provision of paragraph (d) or chapter 169 limiting
11.7the gross axle weight of any individual axle unless the entire vehicle also exceeds its
11.8gross vehicle weight plus its weight allowance allowed in clause (1) and plus any weight
11.9allowance permitted under section 169.826, in which case the vehicle is subject to all
11.10applicable penalties for excess weight violations.
11.11(c) The gross weight of the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer for which the license
11.12tax is paid must be indicated by a distinctive character on the license plate or plates except
11.13as provided in subdivision 12 or section 169.86, subdivision 5a, as applicable, and the
11.14plate or plates must be kept clean and clearly visible at all times.
11.15(d) The owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer, upon
11.16conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which it was
11.17registered or for operating a vehicle with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful
11.18axle load weight, is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to increased registration or
11.19reregistration according to the following schedule:
11.20(1) Upon conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight
11.21for which a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is registered by more than the allowance
11.22set forth in paragraph (b) but less than 25 percent, or for operating or using a motor
11.23vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle
11.24load as provided in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by more than the allowance set forth in
11.25paragraph (b) but less than 25 percent, the owner, driver, or user of the motor vehicle,
11.26trailer, or semitrailer used to commit the violation, in addition to any penalty imposed for
11.27the misdemeanor, shall apply to the registrar to increase the authorized gross weight to
11.28be carried on the vehicle to a weight equal to or greater than the gross weight the owner,
11.29driver, or user was convicted of carrying. The increase is computed for the balance of
11.30the calendar year on the basis of 1/12 of the annual tax for each month remaining in the
11.31calendar year beginning with the first day of the month in which the violation occurred.
11.32If the additional registration tax computed upon that weight, plus the tax already paid,
11.33amounts to more than the regular tax for the maximum gross weight permitted for the
11.34vehicle under sections 169.822 to 169.829, that additional amount must nevertheless be
11.35paid into the highway fund, but the additional tax thus paid does not authorize or permit
11.36any person to operate the vehicle with a gross weight in excess of the maximum legal
12.1weight as provided by sections 169.822 to 169.829. Unless the owner within 30 days
12.2after a conviction applies to increase the authorized weight and pays the additional tax
12.3as provided in this section, the registrar shall revoke the registration on the vehicle and
12.4demand the return of the registration card and plates issued on that registration.
12.5(2) Upon conviction of an owner, driver, or user of a motor vehicle, trailer, or
12.6semitrailer for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which the
12.7motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer was registered by 25 percent or more or for operating
12.8or using the vehicle or trailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle load
12.9as provided in sections 169.822 to 169.829 by 25 percent or more, and in addition to any
12.10penalty imposed for the misdemeanor, the registrar shall either (i) cancel the reciprocity
12.11privileges on the vehicle involved if the vehicle is being operated under reciprocity
12.12or (ii) if the vehicle is not being operated under reciprocity, cancel the certificate of
12.13registration on the vehicle operated and demand the return of the registration certificate
12.14and registration plates. The registrar may not cancel the registration or reciprocity
12.15privileges for any vehicle found in violation of seasonal load restrictions imposed under
12.16section 169.87 unless the axle weight exceeds the year-round weight limit for the highway
12.17on which the violation occurred. The registrar may investigate any allegation of gross
12.18weight violations and demand that the operator show cause why all future operating
12.19privileges in the state should not be revoked unless the additional tax assessed is paid.
12.20(3) Clause (1) does not apply to the first haul of unprocessed or raw farm products
12.21or unfinished forest products, when the registered gross weight is not exceeded by more
12.22than ten percent. For purposes of this clause, "first haul" means (i) the first, continuous
12.23transportation of unprocessed or raw farm products from the place of production or
12.24on-farm storage site to any other location within 50 miles of the place of production or
12.25on-farm storage site, or (ii) the continuous or noncontinuous transportation of unfinished
12.26forest products from the place of production to the place of final processing or manufacture
12.27located within 200 miles of the place of production.
12.28(4) When the registration on a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is revoked by the
12.29registrar according to this section, the vehicle must not be operated on the highways of the
12.30state until it is registered or reregistered, as the case may be, and new plates issued, and
12.31the registration fee is the annual tax for the total gross weight of the vehicle at the time of
12.32violation. The reregistration pursuant to this subdivision of any vehicle operating under
12.33reciprocity agreements pursuant to section 168.181 or 168.187 must be at the full annual
12.34registration fee without regard to the percentage of vehicle miles traveled in this state.

13.8vehicle with a greater gross weight than that for which the tax has been paid, such owner
13.9shall be permitted to reregister such vehicle by paying the additional tax due thereon
13.10for the remainder of the calendar year for which such vehicle has been reregistered, the
13.11additional tax computed pro rata by the month, 1/12 of the annual tax due for each month
13.12of the year remaining in the calendar year, beginning with the first day of the month in

13.14the additional tax as aforesaid, the owner shall be given credit for the unused portion of

13.16each month of the year remaining in the calendar year beginning with the first day of the
13.17month in which such owner desires to operate the vehicle with the greater weight. An
13.18owner will be permitted one reduction of gross weight or change of registration per year,
13.19which will result in a refund. This refund will be prorated monthly beginning with the
13.20first day of the month after such owner applies to amend the registration. The application
13.21for amendment shall be accompanied by a fee of $3, and all fees shall be deposited in
13.22the highway user tax distribution fund. Provided, however, the owner of a vehicle may
13.23reregister the vehicle for a weight of more than 81,000 pounds for one or more 30-day
13.24periods. For each 30-day period, the additional tax shall be equal to 1/12 of the difference

13.27sticker provided by the commissioner of public safety shall be permanently displayed.
