	Under the bill, if the plate is not attached to the exterior of the historic military vehicle, it must be present in the vehicle and available upon demand by law enforcement officers.

Legislation to exempt historic military vehicles from the requirement that they display a license plate unless the vehicle was originally manufactured with lighting and mounting provisions for a plate was approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.   

Under the bill, which has already been approved by the Senate, if the plate is not attached to the exterior of the historic military vehicle, it must be present in the vehicle and available upon demand by law enforcement officers.

In Michigan, "historic military vehicle" means a vehicle, including a trailer, regardless of the vehicle's size, weight or year of manufacture, that was manufactured for use in any country's military forces and is maintained to represent its military design and markings accurately. The bill will now be considered by all members of the Michigan House of Representatives.

The entire Kentucky House of Representatives approved amended legislation to change the valuation procedure on vehicles registered in the state for purposes of the property tax.

Kentucky legislation to change the valuation procedure on vehicles registered in the state for purposes of the property tax was amended by the House Transportation Committee and approved by the entire Kentucky House of Representatives. Under the amendment, newer vehicles would be valued at the “average trade-in” value. Previously, the bill required these vehicles to be valued at the higher "clean trade-in" value.

The bill continues to put a new valuation procedure in place for older vehicles. Vehicles 20 years old or older would no longer be presumed to be in "original factory" or "classic" condition. The measure instead provides three options for assessing the value of these vehicles. The bill will now be considered by the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee.
