Wisconsin anti old vehicle legislation pending

They are at it again:

The Wis Dept of Transportation PROPOSES an order to create ch. TRANS 123, relating to registration of non-standard vehicles. The focus appears to be pre 1968 vehicles.

PUBLIC HEARING
JULY 29, 2009
ROOM 254 HILL FARMS STATE OFFICE BUILDING
4802 Sheboygan Ave
Madison, WI.

This proposal contains wording
"vehicles manufactured before 1968"
any legislation or rule with that wording demands a close look. On the surface the proposal appears non threatening. The fact that, the Dept wants to create a rule that allows them to refuse to register your pre 1968 non standard vehicle at their discretion, appears as a new avenue to legislate older vehicles from being on the road or ever being registered and licensed to be on the road.

We need a lot of people at the hearing. This will show that there is a lot of interest in the proposal. We can listen to their explanation and then determine our course of action.
Fellow Wisconsinites, call your local representative, in the Wisconsin legislature, and express your opposition to this proposal and tell them that Wisconsin vehicle enthusiasts will be looking at the proposal, closely, and will make any and all attempts to protect our cars and interests. To find your local state government rep call toll free 1-800-362-9472.

I will post to this thread any new or important info.

I am not looking for numerous posts complaining about government, politics, law enforcement etc. Take the time and check your states pending legislation. Wis folks spread the info, call your local rep, get pro active. Wis car clubs it's time, too.

This link doesn't seem to work, but if you copy and paste it into your browser window it should get you there. If you have any problems, let me know; PM or email. Larry

sounds like another good reason to move to Texas :D

With all of the changes that are going on in our country, I wouldn't be surprised if similar bills aren't introduced in other states as well.

Have you checked the SEMA site to see if they are on it and what ideas they might have to help get it blocked???? SEMA is usually on top of this sort of bs legislation......

Cut N paiste works. Bottom of page 5 + top of page 6 is where they will get you. I hope it fails as I am in MN and our two states often copy each other.
