In a nutshell, I know how to read laws, and the way this one is written is not clear at all. If it has me confused, than it's a confusing law.
Will highlighting the language help?
17. " Light class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use fuel on the highways in this state but EXCLUDES a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds or having more than two axles.
37. "Use class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use fuel on a highway in this state and that is a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds or having more than two axles.
And are not both of these examples found in the Commercial Vehicle part of the law? If so, I take it that the law pertains to only commercial vehicles.
N-o NO!
That's likely the source of all the confusion here. The law has absolutely nothing to do with commercial vehicle regulations- it is specific to fuel taxation ONLY, and levies the taxes based on the very simple criteria listed multiple times in this thread.
Here AGAIN is a direct link to the
only statute that is relevant to this discussion.
