			 owner or lessee of a commercial truck, commercial trailer, or commercial
			 semitrailer, or the social security account number of an individual owner or
			 lessee of a commercial truck, commercial trailer, or commercial
			 semitrailer.

			 trucks, commercial trailers, and commercial semitrailers which are first
			 registered on or after the first day of March 2004 or which have a registration
			 expiring on or after the thirty-first day of May 2004 shall be registered in
			 accordance with this rule.
