R 325.1721 Well drilling machine registration.

Rule 221. (1) A drilling machine registration card shall be issued for each drilling machine that is registered by a well drilling contractor. The card shall be carried on the drilling machine at all times where it may be inspected at any reasonable hour upon a request by the department representative or a health officer. The card expires on April 30 each year. (2) The registration card and duplicate seals that are furnished for a drilling machine are not transferrable. The card and seals shall be returned to the department when a drilling machine is sold, traded, or otherwise disposed of. A registration card and 2 new seals for a drilling machine that is sold, traded, or otherwise disposed of will be provided without cost upon receipt of the old card, the 2 old seals, and an application that requests authorization to operate a different drilling machine. (3) Registration of a well drilling machine by the department does not exempt a person from any applicable federal, state, or local vehicle registration requirements or from payment of applicable road taxes, license plate fees, or vehicle registration fees.
