What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, certain vehicles operated on the highway are not required to be registered with the Department of Transportation. These vehicles include amphibious motor vehicles capable of carrying at least ten passengers when the vehicle is used for sight-seeing purposes, registered as a boat with the Department of Natural Resources, and operated on a highway for a distance of not more than two miles.
This bill allows this vehicle registration exemption to apply to amphibious motor vehicles that are operated on a highway for a distance of not more than five miles, rather than two miles, if they otherwise meet the criteria described above.
