in effectSec. 47-456. - Replacement; transfer.
(a) It shall be unlawful to remove any registration decal from a vehicle and place it on another vehicle. A registration decal shall automatically become void if it is attached to a vehicle other than the specific vehicle for which it was provided by the health officer.
(b) In the event a transporter desires replacement registration decals (as may be necessary if the vehicle is painted or repaired) or wishes to transfer waste decals to a replacement vehicle, the transporter shall surrender all registration decals for the vehicle and shall pay a registration decal replacement charge per vehicle. No registration decal shall be provided for a replacement vehicle until the transporter permit has been amended to include that vehicle. No replacement registration decal shall be provided unless the transporter surrenders the decals to be replaced or provides conclusive evidence that they have been destroyed. If the decals are not surrendered and the required proof is not provided, then the full vehicle registration fee applicable under this division shall be payable.
