Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment proposes to eliminate the
				  unnecessary use of restrictive words and editorial changes for
				  clarity.
(1) The commission
				will develop an application that will capture the information needed from the
				applicant to determine eligibility for a sign under
				7 CSR 10-27.010-7 CSR
				10-27.040. The commission will make the application readily available to the
				public in an easily accessible location, such as the commission's Internet
				site.
(2) Applicants must complete
				and submit an application to the commission. The information necessary for an
				application to be accepted includes:
(3) The commission is responsible for
				reviewing all applications. The commission will use the information in the
				application as well as the other documentation specified by this rule to
				determine if the application can be approved. The commission reserves the right
				to request additional information from the applicant if the circumstances of
				the crash are not clear.
(4) The
				applicant will also be responsible for providing the official accident report
				for the crash. If there is no accident report, or if the report does not
				include details on intoxication, additional documentation must also be provided
				that clearly indicates the intoxication of the driver and verifies that the
				victim was not intoxicated. Such additional documentation may include, but is
				not limited to, medical records of the intoxicated driver, autopsy report, a
				coroner report, or any other document.
(5) The applicant is also responsible for
				submitting the fee for the sign along with the application, made payable to
				Department of Revenue-Credit State Road Fund. If the application is not
				approved, the entire fee will be returned to the applicant.
(6) Each sign will remain in place for a
				period of ten (10) years during which time the commission will maintain the
				sign in the event of damage or theft. At the end of the ten (10)-year period,
				the sign will be removed unless renewed as provided in this rule.
(7) If applicants wish to keep the sign in
				place for an additional ten (10) years, the applicant is responsible for
				notifying the commission one (1) year in advance of the expiration of the ten
				(10)-year period and for remitting to the commission a renewal fee for the
				subsequent ten (10)-year period.
(8) Once signs are removed, they will remain
				the property of the commission and the sign blanks will be reused to make new
				signs.
(9) The fee for the sign
				represents the commission's cost to administer the program and manufacture,
				install, and maintain the sign for a period of ten (10) years. This cost, as
				well as the ten (10)-year renewal fee, will be based on the commission's
				operating costs for the year in which the original request or renewal request
				is received by the commission.
(10)
				All commission determinations under this rule, including, but not limited to,
				approval or disapproval of applications, the amount of the sign fee, and all
				other determinations are final and not subject to appeal.
