The statute, as written — Records to be maintained in State
Each motor carrier maintaining an office or place of business within this State shall keep therein all books, accounts, papers, and records required by the public utilities commission to be kept within this State. No books, accounts, papers, or records shall be at any time removed from the State except upon such conditions or rules as the commission may prescribe. Motor carriers performing transportation regulated under this chapter which do not maintain an office or place of business within the State shall make books, accounts, papers, and records pertaining to transportation available to the commission at its request at a place designated within this State, for examination by the commission, or in the alternative reimburse the commission for the actual expense of examining the books, accounts, papers, or records at the place outside of the State where these records are kept.
