1An Act to create 341.05 (25) of the statutes;
relating to: exempting wood

3authority.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain vehicles that are operated upon the highways of this
state are not required to be registered. These vehicles include implements of
husbandry and certain farm tractors.
This bill exempts from vehicle registration wood harvesting slashers that are
used principally off the highways of this state. The bill requires the department of
transportation to define "wood harvesting slasher" by rule, and to submit the
proposed definition within 5 months after this bill becomes law.
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:
