1. (A) Any licensed supplier or licensed permissive supplier may make a blanket election with the department to treat all removals from all of its out-of-state terminals with a destination in this State as shown on the terminal issued shipping paper as if the removals were removed across the rack by the supplier from a terminal in this State for all purposes.
2. (B) This election must be made by filing "notice of election" with the department as provided in this section.
3. (C) The department shall release a list of electing suppliers under subsection (B) upon request by any person.
4. (D) The absence of an election by a supplier under this section does not relieve the supplier of responsibility for remitting the user fee imposed by this chapter upon the removal from an out-of-state terminal for import into this State by the supplier.
5. (E) A supplier which makes the election provided by this section shall pre-collect the user fee imposed by this chapter on all removals from a qualified terminal on its account as a position holder or a person receiving fuel from a position holder pursuant to a two-party exchange agreement without regard to the license status of the person acquiring the fuel from the supplier, the point or terms of sale, or the character of delivery.
