    Subdivision 1.    Authority.  The commissioner may enter 
 into agreements with representatives of other states to allow 
 the cooperative registration of motor carriers transporting 
 property or passengers for hire in interstate commerce.  The 
 agreement may authorize representatives of other states to issue 
 interstate registration stamps and trip permits; accept the 
 filing of insurance certificates, insurance cancellation 
 notices, and orders of the former Interstate Commerce Commission 
 or a successor agency; issue suspension and reinstatement orders 
 or notices; and collect and disburse fees prescribed by this 
 chapter.  The agreement may allow the exchange of information 
 for audit, reporting, and enforcement purposes, and the 
 collection and disbursement of fees provided under this chapter 
 and the laws of other states that participate in the agreement.  
 The agreement and all amendments must be in writing.  The 
 agreement may provide for the gradual adoption of a base state 
 registration system.  It may provide that a motor carrier based 
 in another state participating in the agreement, that has filed 
 evidence of financial responsibility in that state that meets 
 the requirements of this chapter and of the agreement, need not 
 file evidence of financial responsibility with the commissioner 
 for its interstate operations in this state. 


    Subd. 2.    Definition.  For purposes of this section, 
 "state" means a state, the District of Columbia, or a state or
