The West Virginia Senate has introduced legislation to exempt motor vehicles, including automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, trucks and tractors that are older than 25 years from personal property taxes.

Legislation has been introduced in the West Virginia Senate to exempt motor vehicles, including automobiles, motorcycles, airplanes, trucks and tractors that are older than 25 years from personal property taxes. Under the bill, these automobiles and motorcycles would need to display valid current antique licenses and could not be used for daily transportation. Earlier this year, a bill was reintroduced in West Virginia to provide owners of antique motor vehicles with an exemption from all taxation and fees.

Under West Virginia law, an "antique motor vehicle" means any motor vehicle, which is more than 25 years old and is owned solely as a collector's item. "Antique motorcycle" means any motorcycle, which is more than 25 years old and is owned solely as a collector's item.

the House Local Government Committee considered legislation to provide counties with the authority to remove from private property motor vehicles deemed to be a “nuisance.”

Legislation to provide counties with the authority to remove from private property motor vehicles deemed to be a “nuisance” was considered by the House Local Government Committee, January 21, 2014. Only cities are currently allowed that authority. In Kansas, maintaining a public nuisance means “intentionally causing or permitting a condition to exist which injures or endangers the public health, safety or welfare.” This definition provides no real guidance for motor-vehicle owners maintaining inoperable vehicles on private property.

Washington House of Representatives introduced legislation to require the issuance of only a single license plate for vehicles that do not include a front mounting bracket as manufactured.

Legislation has been introduced in the Washington House of Representatives to require the issuance of only a single license plate for vehicles that do not include a front mounting bracket as manufactured. The bill would still require that owners issued one plate pay all applicable fees as if the vehicle had been issued two plates. Owners would also be issued an identifying sticker for the front windshield.
