     221.153 Armored carrier; conversion of operating 
  authority. 

    Subdivision 1.    Expiration of operating authority.  
 All operating authority under certificates or permits granted by 
 the board that authorizes armored carrier service expires on 
 March 1, 1994.  After February 28, 1994, no person may provide 
 armored carrier service unless the person holds a valid armored 
 carrier permit issued by the board.  This subdivision does not 
 require the expiration of any operating authority other than 
 authority for armored carrier service.  This subdivision does 
 not limit the right of carriers to transport items of 
 exceptional value in nonarmored vehicles that are not protected 
 by at least one armed person exclusive of the driver. 

    Subd. 2.    Conversion.  A motor carrier holding 
 operating authority that expires on March 1, 1994, under 
 subdivision 1 who wishes to continue providing the service 
 authorized by that operating authority must convert that 
 operating authority into an armored carrier permit before that 
 date. 

    Subd. 3.    Issuance of new permit.  (a) By November 1, 
 1993, a motor carrier described in subdivision 2 must submit to 
 the commissioner an application for conversion.  The application 
 must be on a form prescribed by the commissioner and must be 
 accompanied by an application fee of $50.  The application must 
 state:  (1) the name and address of the applicant; (2) the 
 identifying number of all certificates or permits that grant the 
 operating authority the applicant wishes to convert; (3) 
 evidence of armored carrier service that the motor carrier has 
 actually and lawfully performed under a certificate or permit 
 within the two years prior to May 15, 1993; and (4) evidence of 
 a protective agent's or private detective's license in good 
 standing under section 221.121, subdivision 6g, paragraph (b). 

    (b) The commissioner shall transmit to the board all 
 applications that meet the requirements of paragraph (a).  The 
 board shall develop an expedited process for hearing and ruling 
 on applications submitted under this subdivision.  Within 60 
 days after receiving an application under this subdivision, the 
 board shall issue an order approving or denying the issuance of 
 an armored carrier permit.  The board shall issue the permit 
 requested in the application if it finds that the issuance is 
 authorized under this section.  An application submitted to the 
 commissioner under this subdivision by November 1, 1993, is 
 deemed approved by the board unless by January 1, 1994, the 
 board has issued an order denying the application. 

    (c) A motor carrier whose actual and lawful provision of 
 armored carrier service has within the two years immediately 
 prior to May 15, 1993, been limited exclusively to service to 
 and from points within the local cartage zone shall only be 
 issued an armored carrier permit that authorizes service as an 
 armored carrier to and from points within that zone.  A motor 
 carrier whose actual and lawful provision of armored carrier 
 service has within the two years immediately prior to May 15, 
 1993, been limited exclusively to service to and from points 
 outside the local cartage zone shall be issued only an armored 
 carrier permit that authorizes service as an armored carrier to 
 and from points outside that zone.  A motor carrier whose actual 
 and lawful provision of armored carrier service has within the 
 two years immediately prior to May 15, 1993, included service to 
 and from points within and outside the local cartage zone shall 
 be issued an armored carrier permit that authorizes armored 
 carrier service to and from points anywhere in the state.
