The owner of a motor vehicle regularly used to convey children to and from school or school activities shall not use the motor vehicle for compensated transportation for a single trip sponsored by a charitable organization without a single trip ticket from the commission. An application for a single trip ticket shall be in a form prescribed by the commission and shall state the time, purpose, origin and destination of the trip and the name, purpose and status of the charitable organization sponsoring the trip. The commission may issue a single trip ticket without notice or a public hearing only if it finds that no certificated or permitted common or contract motor carrier service is available for the trip described in the application and that the motor vehicle to be used for the trip complies with the safety requirements prescribed by the Motor Carrier Act [65-2A-1 NMSA 1978] and the commission's rules.
