B. A terminal operator may manually prepare shipping papers if the terminal does not have the ability to prepare automated shipping papers or as a result of extraordinary unforeseen circumstances, including acts of God, which temporarily interfere with the ability of the terminal operator to issue automated machine-generated shipping papers. However, the terminal operator shall, prior to manually preparing the papers, provide, in the case of a terminal not having the ability to prepare automated shipping papers, written notice to the Commission, or in the case of extraordinary circumstances, telephonic notice to the Commission and obtain a service interruption authorization number which the employees of the terminal operator shall add to the manually prepared papers prior to removal of each effected transport load from the terminal. The service interruption authorization number shall be valid for use by the terminal operator for a period not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours. If the interruption has not been cured within the twenty-four-hour period, additional notice(s) to the Commission shall be required and interruption authorization number(s) may be issued upon explanation by the terminal operator satisfactory to the Commission. If the terminal operator acquires the ability to prepare automated machine-printed shipping papers, the terminal operator shall notify the Commission no later than ten (10) days prior to the initial use of such capability.
C. An operator of a bulk plant in this state delivering motor fuel into a tank wagon for subsequent delivery to a consumer in this state shall be exempt from this section. An operator of a bulk plant in this state shall not be required to identify net gallons on the shipping documents as provided by this section.
D. A terminal operator may load motor or diesel fuel, a portion of which fuel is destined for sale or use in this state and a portion of which fuel is destined for sale or use in another state or states. However, such split loads removed shall be documented by the terminal operator by issuing shipping papers designating the state of destination for each portion of the fuel.
E. Each terminal operator shall post a conspicuous notice proximately located to the point of receipt of shipping papers by transport truck operators, which notice shall describe in clear and concise terms the duties of the transport operator and retail dealer under Section 45 of this act,2 provided that the Commission may by rule or notice establish the language, type, style and format of the notice.
F. A person who knowingly violates or knowingly aids and abets another to violate this section with the intent to evade the tax levied by this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or be sentenced to a term of not more than one (1) year in the county jail, or shall be punishable by both such fine and imprisonment.
