“I would like to explain section 109 of Division C regarding the registration of container chassis. This section addresses the application of registration fees to trailers used exclusively for the purpose of transporting ocean shipping containers, which the Section refers to as ``container chassis.'' The section provides that a State, such as California, that requires annual registration and apportioned fees for container chassis may not limit the operation, or require the registration in the State, of a container chassis registered in another State, if the container chassis is operating under a trip permit issued by the non-registration State. Further, the non-registration State may not impose fines or penalties on the operation of such a container chassis for being operated in the non-registration State without a registration issued by that State. For example, the Attorney General of California or any other person in California, may not seek to impose fines or penalties from companies operating container chassis in California, when the container chassis are registered in another state such as Maine or Tennessee.”
