Sec. 8.
(a) Each permit issued by the department shall be assigned a separate identification number, and it shall be the duty of each permittee to fasten to each sign the permit tag provided by the department in a location with the permit number plainly facing the control route and visible from the right-of-way of the control route. In the event the most recent version of the department's permit tag is not available to be attached to the sign, a replacement permit tag shall be obtained from the department by the permittee's submission of a written request to the department and the payment of a replacement fee in an amount determined by the department, but not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25). The replacement permit tag shall be fastened to the sign as provided in this subsection.(b) A permit tag is issued for a particular sign at its current location and a permit tag may not be moved to or used for any other sign or location.(c) If the department changes its permit tags to a new design because of federal law or state law and sends written notice of that fact to the permittee, the permittee shall promptly submit a written request for the newly designed permit tag, pay the replacement fee in an amount determined by the department, but not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25), and, upon receipt, shall fasten the newly designed permit tag as provided in subsection (a).(d) If the department determines that a sign does not have the current design of the permit tag fastened and visible in accordance with subsection (a), the department may send written notice to the permittee that requires such permit tag to be so fastened and visible. If a replacement permit tag is needed, the permittee shall:(1) submit a written request for a replacement permit tag within sixty (60) days of the department's notice; and(2) fasten the replacement permit tag as provided in subsection (a) within sixty (60) days of receiving such tag from the department.(e) The permittee shall owe the department a fee of one hundred dollars ($100) per month from the date that any action should have been taken by the permittee under subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2), but subject to a maximum fee of four hundred dollars ($400) for any particular sign. Failure of the permittee to timely fasten the current design of the permit tag to the sign as provided in subsection (a) after receiving the department's written notice to do so shall be a sufficient ground for the department to revoke any permit for the sign, but the permittee may prevent this revocation by fastening the permit tag to the sign in an appropriate manner and paying all fees under this subsection within thirty (30) days of the date of the department's revocation notice.
