itinerary, either agreed upon in advance or modified by the charter group after
having left the place of origin. (2) The contract provided for in subsection (1) of this section shall be entered into at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the departure of the vehicle from its point of
origin. All trips shall either originate or terminate within the county of the situs of
the carrier's operation which shall be designated in its certificate. (3) All carriers subject to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall be prohibited from providing service to any person who is not a member of the group

be allowed at any intermediate points. (4) Any person, or his respective predecessor in interest, engaged as of December 31, 1983, in the transportation of chartered parties or groups of persons with a common
purpose, pursuant to a valid certificate issued by the department, authorizing the
activity as an additional incident of conducting a regular route, common carrier
passenger service, except holders of taxicab, industrial bus, and nonprofit bus
certificates, shall, upon application, be entitled to the issuance of a charter bus
certificate to thereafter authorize a continuation of the same operations. Upon
petition by any interested party, or upon its own motion if it so desires, the
department shall require a hearing upon any application, to be conducted in
accordance with KRS Chapter 13B, to establish an applicant's rights thereunder.
Any subsequent change in situs, or additional situs to a charter bus certificate, shall
be granted only upon application to the department in the same manner as other

of December 31, 1983. (5) Notwithstanding any other requirement of this chapter, a holder of a charter bus certificate issued by the department or the Interstate Commerce Commission shall
not be required to pay any fee for registering or renewing the certificate provided a
current copy of the certificate is filed with the department. However, all the
requirements of KRS 281.655, 281.710, and 281.752 shall be satisfactorily
complied with in order for the holder of a charter bus certificate to be properly
registered to operate in this Commonwealth. Effective: July 15, 1996
