2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
February 2, 2006 - Introduced by Representatives Townsend, Albers, Krawczyk
and Nass, cosponsored by Senators Grothman and Lassa. Referred to
Committee on Transportation.
AB982,1,2
1An Act to create 341.26 (2) (p) of the statutes;
relating to: registration for
2vehicles equipped with mobile emergency communication equipment.
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 $55 and the fee for
registering most other vehicles is based on the vehicle's weight. However, certain
motor vehicles may be registered for five years upon payment of a $5 registration fee.
This bill allows a motor vehicle that is equipped with mobile emergency
communication equipment, that is owned by an amateur radio organization, and
that is operated by a person who holds an unexpired amateur radio state license
issued by the Federal Communications Commission, 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:
