ATCP 12.045(1)(a)(a) No animal market operator, animal dealer, or animal trucker may operate an animal transport vehicle unless each side of the vehicle bears one part of a 2-part annual vehicle registration sticker issued by the department.

(a) to a licensed animal market operator, animal dealer, or animal trucker who owns or operates the vehicle.

If a license holder operates an animal transport vehicle owned by a non-license holder, the license holder that operates that vehicle shall obtain the vehicle registration sticker under par. (a) as the registrant. ATCP 12.045(1)(c)(c) If a registrant under par. (b) controls the operation of the animal transport vehicle for less than the full registration year, the registrant shall record the name and address of each person who controlled the operation of the vehicle at any time during the year, and the time period during which that person controlled that operation. The registrant shall retain the record for at least 5 years, and shall make it available to the department for inspection and copying upon request.
