2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE
February 24, 2009 - Introduced by Representatives Townsend, Bies, Brooks,
Gunderson, Mursau, A. Ott and Spanbauer, cosponsored by Senator Lazich.
Referred to Committee on Transportation.
AB82,1,3
1An Act to create 341.26 (2) (p) of the statutes;
relating to: registration for
2vehicles or trailers equipped with mobile emergency communication
3equipment and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, most vehicles are registered annually with the Department
of Transportation. The fee for registering an automobile is $75 and the fee for
registering most other vehicles is based on the vehicle's weight. However, certain
vehicles may be registered for five years upon payment of a $5 registration fee.
This bill allows a motor vehicle or trailer that is equipped with mobile
emergency communication equipment, that is owned by an amateur radio
organization, and that is used exclusively to provide or coordinate emergency
communications to be registered for five years upon a payment of a $5 registration
fee.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
