VEHICLES VALIDLY REGISTERED IN OTHER STATES AND USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
HARVESTING OPERATIONS (§ 46.2-668)

A. No person shall be required to obtain the registration certificate, license
plates, or decals for or pay a registration fee for any motor vehicle, trailer,
or semitrailer which is validly registered in another state and bears valid
license plates issued by that state when the use of the vehicle has been
contracted for by the owner or lessee of a farm as an incidental part of the
harvesting of a crop from his farm. This exemption shall only be valid while the
vehicle is engaged principally in transporting farm produce from the farm:

   1. As an incidental part of harvesting operations;

   2. Along a public highway for a distance of not more than 20 miles to a
   storage house, packing plant, market, or transportation terminal;

   3. When the use is a seasonal operation; and

   4. When the owner of the vehicle has secured from the Commissioner an
   exemption permit for each vehicle.

B. The Commissioner, upon receipt of an application certifying that a vehicle is
entitled to the exemption set forth in this subsection and, if the vehicle is a
qualified highway vehicle under &#xA7; 58.1-2700, payment of $150, shall issue
an exemption permit on a form prescribed by him. The exemption permit shall be
carried at all times by the operator of the vehicle for which it is issued or
displayed in a conspicuous place on the vehicle. The exemption permit shall be
valid for a period of 90 days from date of issue and shall be renewable by the
procedure set forth in the foregoing provisions of this section.
