Terms Used In Michigan Laws 3.167
- Board: means the department of state. See Michigan Laws 3.161
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Jurisdiction: means , except as otherwise provided in section 3, other states of the United States, the District of Columbia, territories and possessions of the United States, foreign countries, or political subdivisions of foreign countries. See Michigan Laws 3.161
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
If a jurisdiction permits or requires the licensing of a fleet of vehicles in interstate or combined interstate and intrastate commerce and payment of registration fees, license taxes, or other fixed fees on that fleet on an apportionment basis commensurate with and determined by the miles traveled on and the use made of the jurisdiction‘s highways, or any other equitable basis of apportionment, and exempts a vehicle registered in another jurisdiction under the apportionment basis from the requirement of full payment of its own registration, license, or other fixed fees, then the board by agreement may adopt the exemption with respect to a vehicle of those fleets, whether owned by a resident or nonresident of this state and regardless of where based. The agreement, under the terms, conditions, or restrictions as the board considers proper, may provide that an owner or operator of a vehicle operated in interstate or combined interstate and intrastate commerce in this state shall be permitted to pay registration, license, or other fixed fees on an apportionment basis commensurate with and determined by the miles traveled on and the use made of the highways of this state or any other equitable basis of apportionment determined by the board. An agreement shall not authorize, or be construed as authorizing, a vehicle so registered for hire to be operated in intrastate commerce in this state unless the owner or operator of the vehicle has been granted intrastate authority or rights by the Michigan public service commission.
