SAN-supported legislation to allow qualifying military vehicles to be registered and operated on public roadways as “antiques” was approved by the Kansas Legislature and signed into law by Governor Kathleen Sebelius. The new law defines an “antique military vehicle” as a vehicle, regardless of the vehicle’s size or weight, which was manufactured for use in any country’s military forces and is maintained to represent its military design. The law excludes fully-tracked vehicles from this definition. In Kansas, “antique” vehicles must be more than 35-years old and propelled by a motor using petroleum fuel, steam or electricity or any combination of these three. Vehicles registered as “antiques” in Kansas are also afforded a one-time registration fee of $40.
