1An Act to renumber 341.01 (2) (a); and
to create 341.01 (2) (ag) and (c) and
2341.05 (29) of the statutes;
relating to: creating a vehicle registration
3exemption for motor vehicles held by garagekeepers that are operated for
4purposes of repair, service, or testing.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain vehicles operated on the highway are not required
to be registered with the Department of Transportation. These vehicles include
vehicles owned by the federal government, certain vehicles used for agricultural
purposes, road machinery, vehicles while being towed, and certain vehicles operated
to or from a vehicle inspection site.
This bill creates a vehicle registration exemption for a motor vehicle held by a
garagekeeper that is traveling to or from the garagekeeper's repair facility while
being operated for purposes of repair, service, or testing.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
