placarding under 49 CFR 172 or 173 shall take place in, to, from, or through this state until the

authorizing the applicant to operate or move upon the public roads of this state a motor vehicle
or a combination of motor vehicles which carries hazardous materials. This part 2 does not apply
to motor vehicles owned by the federal government, motor vehicles when used to transport to or

vehicles owned by the state or any political subdivision thereof; except that such vehicles are
exempt from the fees provided in section 42-20-202. The requirements of this part 2 are in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other provisions of law.
