Michigan Legislature approved legislation to require that forest roads be open to motorized use by the public unless otherwise designated by the Department of Natural Resources.

Legislation to require that forest roads be open to motorized use by the public unless otherwise designated by the Department of Natural Resources was approved by the Michigan Legislature. Under the bill, before the department newly restricts a road or trail used to access public land, it must provide local governments in which the land is located written notice that includes the reason for the restriction. 

Other lands permitted for off-highway use include designated roads that are not forest roads, designated trails and other designated areas. The bill will now be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law.

It’s a new era for the kit-car industry! Last year, a law was enacted to permit car manufacturers to produce turn-key replica vehicles for customers nationwide. When fully implemented, this new law will allow U.S. companies to make and sell classic-themed vehicles that were virtually impossible to build under the previous one-size-fits-all regulatory framework. Replica cars resemble production vehicles manufactured at least 25 years ago. Learn how low-volume production car companies and those that supply equipment and components can take advantage of this unique opportunity. The seminar, “How Manufacturers, Suppliers and Consumers Can Take Advantage of the New Replica Car Law” will provide an opportunity for experts to explain the law and for manufacturers and suppliers to ask questions about how they can take advantage of this new marketplace.

When: Thursday, November 3, 2016, 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N254

Panel:

• Stuart Gosswein, SEMA
• Russ Deane, SEMA General Counsel
• Jim McFarland, SEMA Technical Consultant
• David Smith, Factory Five Racing
• Lance Stander, Superformance 
• Lance Tunick, Vehicle Services Consulting Inc.
