AB197,1,3 An Act to amend 341.26 (2) (f) of the statutes; relating to: registration of vehicles operated exclusively by a nonprofit organization as a blood bank vehicle.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the owner of a qualified motor vehicle to register the vehicle for five years for a $5 fee. Qualified vehicles are specified by statute and include certain vehicles operated exclusively for civilian defense purposes by this state or a county or municipality, certain school buses, certain motor buses used exclusively for transporting groups participating in parades or similar entertainment and other similarly owned and operated vehicles. Current law specifies that a motor vehicle operated exclusively as a Red Cross blood bank vehicle is eligible for the $5, five-year registration.

This bill makes any motor vehicle operated exclusively by a federally recognized nonprofit organization as a blood bank vehicle eligible for the $5, five-year registration.

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:
