What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill allows a half-track former military vehicle to be registered by the Department of Transportation.
Under current law, DOT must refuse registration of a vehicle under specified circumstances, such as when the applicant has not paid the registration fee or does not hold a certificate of title for the vehicle. DOT must also refuse registration of a vehicle that is originally designed and manufactured for off-highway operation unless the vehicle meets certain federal motor vehicle safety standards, except that this prohibition does not apply to certain former military vehicles eligible for specific registration categories.

Under current law, there are two special registration categories for certain former military vehicles. Current law authorizes DOT to register certain types of former military vehicles that are at least 25 years old, including Pinzgauers and certain Kaiser Jeeps, as a specific type of special interest (“collector” ) vehicle.
Collector vehicles are subject to some operating restrictions, most notably that they generally cannot be operated on the highways in January. Current law also authorizes DOT to register certain former military vehicles as historic military vehicles. Historic military vehicles are subject to significant operating restrictions and generally may be used only for special occasions such as parades and special events and for testing and maintenance.
This bill allows a vehicle that is equipped with tires at the front and with rubber tracks or tracks made of equivalent material at the rear to be registered as a type of special interest vehicle.
