4
and

unless

pursuant

that

manufactured
for
and
sold

of
the
10
United

in
conformity
with

C.F.R.
§

with

motor

15
The
department
may

EXPLANATION
19
Under
current
law,
military
vehicles
which
are
retired
from
20
use
by
the
United
States
armed
forces
are
not
eligible
for
21
registration
and
titling
in
this
state
because
they
do
not
22
have
a
manufacturer’s
label
certifying
that
the
vehicle
meets
23
federal
motor
vehicle
safety
standards.
Although
federal
law
24
does
not
allow
the
application
of
the
manufacturer’s
label
on
25
military
vehicles,
some
of
those
vehicles
do
meet
federal
motor
26
vehicle
safety
standards.
This
bill
allows
the
department
27
of
transportation
to
register
certain
military
vehicles
that
28
were
manufactured
in
conformance
with
United
States
military
29
requirements,
other
than
a
vehicle
that
runs
on
continuous
30
tracks
or
wheels
and
tracks,
if
the
owner
provides
satisfactory
31
evidence
that
the
vehicle
is
substantially
in
compliance
32
with
federal
motor
vehicle
safety
standards.
The
department
33
is
authorized
to
adopt
rules
as
necessary
concerning
the
34
registration
of
military
vehicles.
