August 28, 1995 - Introduced by
Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee
on Highways and Transportation.
AB525,1,2
1An Act to repeal 346.55 (2); and
to amend 346.50 (1) (intro.) and 346.56 (2) of
2the statutes;
relating to: displaying a vehicle for sale upon a highway.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits any person from stopping or leaving upon a highway any
vehicle displayed for sale. A person who violates this prohibition may be subject to
a forfeiture of not less than $30 nor more than $300.
This bill eliminates this provision of state law, thereby permitting a person to
stop or leave standing upon a highway a vehicle displayed for sale.
For further information, see the Notes provided by the law revision committee
of the joint legislative council.
