If any jurisdiction permits or requires the licensing of fleets of vehicles in interstate or combined interstate and intrastate commerce and payment of registration fees, license taxes, or other fixed fees thereon on an apportionment basis commensurate with and determined by the miles traveled on and the use made of said jurisdiction’s highways as compared with the miles traveled on and the use made of other jurisdiction’s highways or any other equitable basis of apportionment, and exempts vehicles registered in other jurisdictions under such apportionment basis from the requirement of full payment of its own registration, license, or other fixed fees, then the administrator may by agreement adopt such exemption with respect to vehicles of such fleets, whether owned by residents or nonresidents of this state and regardless of where based.
Terms Used In South Dakota Codified Laws 32-10-6
- 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: (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.
