    Subdivision 1.    Authority.  The commissioner may enter 
 into agreements with representatives of other states to allow 
 the cooperative registration of motor carriers transporting

 interstate registration stamps and trip permits; accept the 
 filing of insurance certificates, insurance cancellation 
 notices, and interstate commerce commission orders; issue 
 suspension and reinstatement orders or notices; and collect and 
 disburse fees prescribed by this chapter.  The agreement may

 that participate in the agreement.  The agreement and all 
 amendments must be in writing.  The agreement may provide for 
 the gradual adoption of a base state registration system.  It 
 may provide that a motor carrier based in another state 
 participating in the agreement, that has filed evidence of 
 financial responsibility in that state that meets the 
 requirements of this chapter and of the agreement, need not file 
 evidence of financial responsibility with the commissioner for 
 its interstate operations in this state.
