It definitely was concurred in. Word from a local atty. here, is that this means the bill is now off to the Gov. for him to sign into law. One more signature, and the majority of former military vehicles will be restored to Wis. roadways!
Good Work to all of you who have helped accomplish this!
I believe they did not get to this bill. I'm awaiting confirmation from legislators, but that may not happen until Mon.
If this is true, then Wisconsin DOT is in for another busy summer in Appeal court, I'm afraid. What a colossal waste of taxpayer's money!
I know that wasn't how you meant...
Hi Mark,
I'm very happy to share this.
Monday, our bill was voted out of committee 5-0.
Yesterday, it passed the full Senate vote by 33-0.
So far, it's been passed by unanimous votes!
It's not over yet, so keep up your contacts with your Legislators, and especially the three Assembly...
UPDATE:
Yesterday, the Bill was passed by the Senate Transportation Committee by a vote of 5-0, a unanimous vote!
Moments ago, the Bill just passed the full Senate with unanimous votes - 33-0!
This is great news, but we're not done yet.
DOT continually opposed the bill, and we were forced to...
Contact the Assembly Speaker, Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald. Urge him to pull this bill from committee, and get it to a floor vote, even without a hearing. (They've done this before with other bills.)

If Rep. Fitzgerald fails to act, the bill will...
Guys, when the govt sells a surplus vehicle for the streets, you get a SF97. With it, you get a title.
We should all be concerned when titles get "manufactured", because that's what leads a state DOT to making problems.
Also, be aware that DOT's routinely monitor forums like this one...
Neophyte,
As a resident of IL, it's legal for you to keep your IL-plated truck in WI, due to reciprocity laws. Glad to have you and your truck in Wis.!
TO ALL,
We just learned that we've got a Public Hearing scheduled before the Senate Transportation Committee for Wed. Mar. 7.
Wisconsin...
Re: Motor Vehicle Registration Rights Bill - SB-462 / AB-580
Don't Let This Bill Die!
DOT is applying enormous pressure to try and kill this Bill. (That probably indicates how much this bill is in your best interests.) Without your efforts, they will succeed.
We expect a Public Hearing on...
The war continues...
We won a big fight Wed., when the Dept. of Admin. overturned DOT's denial on a 1985 D-10 Blazer. Wis. DOA Case# TR-11-0016
It looks like military Blazers are once again legal in Wisconsin. WisDOT has a history of sidestepping the Appeal court's orders, as in the case of...
Congratulations! Your efforts are paying off! Our bill has progressed to Legislative Committees, which is where they review it and hold hearings on it. Keep up your hard work. We will continue to give direction as this keeps moving ahead.
The bill now has it's Legislative Names: SB-462 /...
Some of you may have run into problems getting your deuce registered for normal uses in Wis. Currently, the law limits you to parade and display uses only. There are some screwy laws here.
We're working to fix those problems, with a new law we're trying to get passed.
For more info, see this...
Trukhead,

Basic information about the Wisconsin Motor Vehicle Registration Rights Bill is available at Alfa Heaven.
YOUR efforts have paid off. Enough comments reached the legislators that we got several to sign on as Co-Sponsors.
We have now reached Phase 2. Our bill has reached the legislature, and...
If I'm reading this right, you guys are getting shoved into parade-ish related registration? This stinks like what happened to Wisconsin owners last year. Sorry if I'm getting into this late, and may have the details wrong...
If the issue is that the vehicles are unsafe, you guys should check...
Just out from Sen. Grothman's office, here is a list of our co-sponsors and confirmed supporters. Note, the list of supporters may NOT be comprehensive - they are the ones I've been given so far.
We have gathered several additional Co-Sponsors to the bill. Here is the full list of Sponsors...
Thanks for the efforts everybody!
This was the first step, and there are more coming up. Dr. Greg is right, the need for support goes on. Besides co-sponsors, we also need general support (votes), first within the Transportation committees and then in the general houses. We will be posting...
