SB426,1,2
1
An Act

to amend
341.25 (1) (gm) of the statutes;
relating to:
registration of
2
trailers used for transporting manufactured housing units.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person may apply to the Department of Transportation for registration as a transporter of modular or other portable housing. DOT may register an eligible applicant upon payment of the applicable fee and issue the applicant a registration plate valid during the calendar year in which it is issued. The person to whom the plate is issued may use the plate on any trailer or temporary undercarriage they own, but only for transporting a modular housing unit or other portable building. This bill expands this registration option to include the transport of manufactured housing units.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SB426,1

Section

1
.
341.25 (1) (gm) of the statutes is amended to read:

, manufactured housing unit,
or other portable building used or

SB426,2,16

2. Any person may apply to the department for registration as a transporter
7
under this paragraph on such form as the department provides. If the department
8
determines that the person is entitled to be registered, the department shall
9
register the person upon payment of the same fee as prescribed in par. (g), based on
10
the maximum combined gross weight of the building and trailer or temporary
11
undercarriage upon which the plate is displayed. The registration and plate are
12
valid only during the calendar year in which they were issued and shall be subject
13
to s. 341.30 (1) (c). Such plate may be used on any trailer or temporary
14
undercarriage owned by the same person and used solely for transporting a
15
modular housing unit
, manufactured housing unit,
or other portable building as
16
referred to above and the return of empty trailers or temporary undercarriages.
