In cooperation with Wisconsin's collector vehicle community, legislation (S.B. 110) has been introduced in the Wisconsin State Senate to allow minor modifications to collector vehicles, exempt former military vehicles, historic military vehicles, and collector vehicles from importer certification label requirements, and expand rights for historic military vehicle owners. A companion bill will soon be introduced in the House of Representatives.
We Urge You to Contact Members of the Senate Transportation, Public Safety, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for S.B. 110
- S.B.110 allows modifications to vehicles registered as collector vehicles, as long as the body of these vehicles is not modified. Currently, upgrades like safety glass, radial tires, a radio or hubcaps are reasons to deny registration. This bill will allow changes that retain the spirit of historic authenticity.
- S.B. 110 exempts former military vehicles, historic military vehicles, and collector vehicles from the requirement that they meet Federal certification label requirements.
- S.B. 110 allows owners of historic military vehicles to operate these vehicles for occasional personal use and allows historic military vehicle owners to store and maintain inoperable, unregistered historic military vehicles on private property if they do not constitute a health hazard and are screened from ordinary public view. Currently, use of these vehicles is limited to parades and car shows transporting them to and from necessary testing, maintenance, and storage.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact all members of the Senate Transportation, Public Safety, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee to request support for S.B. 110.
