(1)   A permit, deemed granted upon approval of the application, expires on December 31 of the year in which it is issued. However, an application for renewal of such permit for the following year may be made on and after December 1 and approval thereof may be granted upon the payment of the permit fee. The permit must be evidenced by an appropriate decal that is placed on the front right bumper, or on a place to be designated by the department of customer services in the case of vehicles not required to have front bumpers.

The director of customer services is authorized, at the discretion of the director of customer services, to establish and increase the annual permit fee and the decal fee by no greater than 5 percent once per calendar year; provided that the current fees are set forth in Schedule XXXIX, which is to be provided by the director of transportation services subsequent to January 1, 2020 and made a part hereof.
