Bill > SB239

This bill amends Alaska law to allow for the registration of legally imported vehicles that are at least 25 years old without requiring them to meet current federal motor vehicle safety standards, which are regulations set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ensure vehicles are safe for operation. Specifically, it adds a new section to Alaska Statute (AS) 28.10, stating that the department, which refers to the Alaska Department of Administration or a similar state agency responsible for vehicle registration, cannot demand compliance with these current safety standards for such older, legally imported vehicles. Furthermore, it amends another section of AS 28.10 to prevent the department from denying, suspending, or revoking a vehicle's certificate of title solely because it doesn't meet these current federal safety standards, provided it is registered under the new provision for older imported vehicles. The bill also specifies that it takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
