5221
. Each household goods carrier maintaining an office or place
of business within this State and offering intrastate service shall
keep therein all books, accounts, papers, and records required by the
commission to be kept within this State. No such books, accounts,
papers, or records shall be at any time removed from the State except
upon such conditions as the commission prescribes. Carriers
performing intrastate service as household goods carriers, which do
not maintain an office or place of business within this State, shall
make books, accounts, papers and records pertaining to such
intrastate service available to the commission at its request at a
place designated within this State for examination by the commission
or in the alternative reimburse the commission for the actual expense
of examining such books, accounts, papers, or records at the place
outside of the State where such records are kept.
The commission may require annual, periodical, or special reports
to be filed by all household goods carriers, prescribe the manner and
form in which reports shall be made, and may require specific
answers to all questions upon which the commission deems information
to be necessary. The reports shall be under oath whenever the
commission so requires.
