What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, most vehicles are registered annually with the Department of Transportation. The fee for registering an automobile is $75 and the fee for registering most other vehicles is based on the vehicle's weight. However, certain vehicles may be registered for five years upon payment of a $5 registration fee.
This bill allows a motor vehicle or trailer that is equipped with mobile emergency communication equipment, that is owned by an amateur radio organization, and that is used exclusively to provide or coordinate emergency communications to be registered for five years upon a payment of a $5 registration fee.
