SECTION 3. 45 IAC 10-1-6 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

45 IAC 10-1-6 "Motor vehicle" defined

Authority: IC 6-8.1-3-3

Sec. 6. (a) A "Motor vehicle" is means a vehicle which that is propelled by an internal combustion engine or motor and is designed for highway use.

(b) Vehicles "designed for highway use" are those vehicles which are primarily adapted for and engaged in highway transportation. All vehicles plated for general highway transportation or capable of being plated pursuant to Indiana law are presumed to be primarily adapted for and engaged in highway transportation.

(c) Fire trucks, fire protection apparatus, and ambulances owned by a municipality or by a person, police vehicles, and street equipment, as well as other vehicles publicly or privately owned which are primarily adapted for, and engaged in highway transportation are motor vehicles.

(d) (c) The term "motor vehicle" shall does not be construed to include vehicles not required to be registered under IC 9-18, including the following vehicles when used entirely on private roadways:
(1) Road construction or maintenance machinery.
(2) Vehicles not capable of being plated pursuant to Indiana law.
(3) A well-boring or well-drilling apparatus, ditch-digging apparatus, or other similar equipment which that is occasionally operated or moved over public highways.
(e) (4) Vehicles which that operate exclusively on rails. are not motor vehicles.
(f) (5) Vehicles designed and operated primarily as farm implements for drawing farm machinery. are not motor vehicles.
(g) (6) Tractors, plows, mowing machines, harvesters, Big A's, and other agricultural implements, including farm machinery when mounted and transported upon a trailer, are not motor vehicles when operated on a farm or when traveling upon public highways from one (1) field to another, or to or from places of repair, or supply.
(h) (7) Vehicles exclusively operated on private property and not engaged in highway transportation. are not motor vehicles.
–EXAMPLES–
(1) An automobile manufacturer tests cars on a test track located on the manufacturer's property. During such testing, the cars are neither fully equipped nor assembled. Although the automobiles' design may be for highway use, such cars are neither adapted for nor engaged in highway transportation, and therefore, would not be considered motor vehicles.
(2) In a mining operation, haulage trucks not capable of being plated are employed to transport coal from a pit to a crusher, and then to a processing plant. The roadway between the pit and the crusher is a private roadway, wholly owned by the mining company. The roadway between the crusher and the processing plant is a public highway. Since the haulage trucks are not capable of being plated pursuant to Indiana law, such vehicles presumably would not be motor vehicles even though they do occasionally travel upon Indiana highways.
(3) Same facts as in example (2) except that the haulage trucks are either plated or capable of being plated pursuant to Indiana law. Haulage trucks which operate exclusively from the pit to the crusher would not be considered motor vehicles since they would not be engaged in highway transportation. Haulage trucks which travel from the crusher to the plant or which occasionally travel upon public highways would be considered motor vehicles since they would be engaged in highway transportation.

(i) Certain classes of motor vehicles which have a common fuel reservoir for the purpose of locomotion along the highway and for operation of equipment with another commercial purpose, while motor vehicles for purposes of this chapter, may upon determination by the administrator be declared exempt in part from taxation under this Act.

(d) The term "motor vehicle" includes vehicles with a common fuel reservoir for both locomotion along the highway and the operation of equipment with another commercial purpose. For purposes of IC 6-6-2.5, "commercial purpose":
(1) means the exchange of goods and services in contemplation of profit; and
(2) includes nonproprietary functions of governmental agencies and not-for-profit organizations.
