AB473,1,2
1An Act to create 341.05 (26) of the statutes;
relating to: exempting from vehicle
2registration certain vehicles that are used primarily off a highway.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain vehicles are exempt from vehicle registration by the
department of transportation. These vehicles include implements of husbandry,
road machinery and certain vehicles that are operated primarily off a highway or to
cross a highway.
This bill exempts from the vehicle registration requirements of this state any
engine-driven device with a gross weight of more than 700 pounds but less than
2,000 pounds that is designed to travel on four or more low-pressure tires, is
equipped with a cargo area and is used primarily off a highway.
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:
