(1) Staggered licensing - the annual
registration issued to tow truck operators shall expire on the date indicated
by the director.
(2) Additional
secure areas for vehicle storage - additional storage locations may be operated
under one registration. No additional bond or insurance will be required for
such premises so long as each is covered by the bond and insurance.
(3) If an operator has more than one
registered business location, storage areas for each business location must be
listed with the department under its registration.
(4) The department must be notified
immediately, on a form provided by the department, of any change of name and/or
address of any business location or of the addition of any location.
(5) Any change of partners or of corporate
officers or members of limited liability companies must be immediately reported
to the department in writing. A complete change in ownership requires a new
registration except in the case of a corporation or a limited liability
company.
(6) An insurer must notify
the department at least 10 days prior to cancellation of a policy. Following
receipt of such notification the department must notify the registered tow
truck operator by ordinary mail of the effective date of the insurance
cancellation and that cancellation of the required insurance cancels the
operator's registration pursuant to
RCW
46.55.030(3)(b). This notice
to the operator shall not affect the cancellation of the
registration.
(7) For purposes of
RCW
46.55.220, it shall not be necessary to hold
a hearing to refuse a registration unless such a hearing is
requested.
