Earlier today, the Wisconsin legislature's assembly chamber in full session acted on bill proposal AB592 to change the state statutes to allow Historic Military Vehicles to be regestered and operated in Wisconsin.
The assembly passed the bill on a unanimous voice vote. The bill was immediatly sent to the Senate were it was taken up and was passed on unanimous vote vote. No legislators spoke against the bill.
The measure will now go to the Governor where he is expected to sign it into law in the next few weeks.
There will be more to do in the future. We remain commited to contine to expand the statute provisions in the future as Wisconsin MV owners demonstrate the safe operation of our MV's. WE consider this "A good start".
Remember we did not give up anything. The Wisconsin DOT was able to use an existing state law to deny or cancel MV registrations. They have and they did. Our bill that passed today creates needed protection for all wheeled MV's.
A BIG "THANK YOU" TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FROM WISCONSIN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO GET INVOLVED AND LOBBY YOUR LEGISLATORS.

Congratulations! I Just sent off for my Florida permanent antique MV tag for my deuce today, hopefully you guys will be able to do something similar in Wisconsin soon.
I said in the first post "There will be more to do in the future. We remain commited to continue to expand the statute provisions in the future as Wisconsin MV owners can demonstrate the safe operation of our MV's. WE consider todays vote "A good start".
Crafting a bill that would allow unlimited use of former MV's for any reason, by any one , for any reason was not going to get past the legislature. The DOT has no data to show they are dangurous on Wis roads and we have no Wisconsin data to show they are safe. The legislature is giving us 24 months to demonstrate and build our case for expanded use after approving the new law today.
The DOT has had the existing state law on their side for a long time. We determined that getting that law changed was the first step. Heck No we didn't get everything we wanted! But we got alot we did want and can drive them. Most of the collectors in Wisconsin that we have worked with plan on using our vehicles with the Historic Military Vehicle plate just like I did before undrer the collector plate. You just can't use it as a daily driver.
There is nothing preventing commecial use if the truck meets commercial motor carrier requirements. And MV dealers tell me that has been done in the past. The very few commercial operators here that still use former MV's tend to now operate them only off road and them transport them by low boy trailer to the next job anyway.
