1. (1) The Highway Reciprocity Commission may require reports from owners and operators of motor vehicles as may be useful to assist the commission in performance of its duties. These reports shall furnish information as may be required by the commission and shall cover certain periods and be made at the times the commission or secretary may direct. These reports shall be in the form prescribed by the commission and shall be verified by the person making the report or by the president, vice-president, secretary or other responsible officer or employee of a corporation or association or by a partner or a responsible employee of a partnership. The commission may make or direct the making of the investigation within or without the state as may be necessary for the performance of its duties. Audits may be made by the commissioners of several jurisdictions. Upon completion of any audit, the secretary shall notify all jurisdictions in which the registrant was proportionally registered on the accuracy of the records of the registrant. Should the registrant have underpaid or overpaid (in excess of ten dollars ($10)) any jurisdiction in which his/her vehicles were proportionally registered, this information shall be furnished to the jurisdiction for collection or refund. If any owner or operator of motor vehicles shall file any false report or give false information called for, or refuse or delay to give information pertinent to the commission in performing its duties under sections 301.271– 301.279, RSMo, the commission shall have power to revoke any or all reciprocity as to 12 CSR 20-5
