Bill > SB5417

This bill authorizes the operation of military surplus vehicles on public highways in Washington state. It defines a "military surplus vehicle" as a vehicle originally manufactured for the U.S. armed forces that is no longer owned by the military. The bill amends existing laws to allow these vehicles to be classified as "collectible" or "collector" vehicles, enabling their use in parades, exhibitions, and other limited circumstances. The bill also requires military surplus vehicle owners to obtain a certificate of safety inspection and maintain liability insurance coverage. Overall, the bill aims to recognize the public interest in allowing these iconic military vehicles to be driven on public roads for specific events and activities.
