Sec. 6. (a) When a hunter's permit is applied for under this section, the department of state revenue shall issue a hunter's permit to a common carrier (as defined under IC 8-2.1-17-4) that contracts for common carrier services from an individual who owns and operates a motor vehicle subject to the International Registration Plan.
(b) If a motor vehicle under subsection (a) is registered in the name of the common carrier that contracts for services from the person that is the owner and operator of the motor vehicle, when the person no longer provides services to the common carrier, the common carrier shall transfer a hunter's permit issued to the common carrier under subsection (a) to the person upon the person's request. The common carrier may charge the person receiving the hunter's permit an amount that does not exceed the amount the common carrier paid for the hunter's permit under subsection (a).
(c) A hunter's permit transferred to a person under subsection (b) allows the person to move the motor vehicle under subsection (a) within Indiana for thirty (30) days to search for a new independent contract for services with a common carrier without first registering the motor vehicle.
