Bill > HB1439

This bill authorizes the operation of military surplus vehicles, such as the high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle, on public highways in limited circumstances like parades, veterans' events, and community events. The bill defines a "military surplus vehicle" as a vehicle originally manufactured and sold to the U.S. armed forces, and no longer owned by them. The bill also amends existing laws to include military surplus vehicles as a type of "collectible" or "collector" vehicle, and allows them to obtain special collector vehicle license plates. The bill prescribes safety inspection and insurance requirements for operating these military surplus vehicles on public roads. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2022.
