Colorado Revised Statutes Title 40. Utilities § 40-10.1-111. Filing, issuance, and annual fees

(1) A motor carrier shall pay the commission the following fees in amounts prescribed in this section or, if not prescribed in this section, as set administratively by the commission with approval of the executive director of the department of regulatory agencies:

(2) Except for a mover holding a permit issued under part 5 of this article and a motor carrier that has paid a fee pursuant to article 10.5 of this title, a motor carrier shall not operate any motor vehicle in intrastate commerce unless the annual fees required by paragraph (f) of subsection (1) of this section have been paid. Such fees apply on a calendar year basis and are creditable only to the specific vehicles for which the fees have been paid.

(3) Administratively set fees must be based on the appropriation made for the purposes specified in section 40-2-110(2)(a)(I), subject to the approval of the executive director of the department of regulatory agencies, such that the revenue generated from all motor carrier fees approximates the direct and indirect costs of the commission in the supervision and regulation of motor carriers.

(4) The commission shall transmit all fees collected under this section to the state treasurer, who shall credit them to the public utilities commission motor carrier fund created in section 40-2-110.5.
