The Washington State Senate approved legislation to exempt collectible vehicles of any age from emissions testing.

Legislation to exempt collectible vehicles of any age from emissions testing was approved by the Washington State Senate. Having already been passed by the House the bill will now be sent to Governor Jay Inslee for his signature and enactment into law.

The bill defines collectible vehicles as “a vehicle of unique or rare design, of limited production, and an object of curiosity that is maintained primarily for use in car club activities, exhibitions, parades, or other functions of public interest or for a private collection, and is used only infrequently for other purposes.”

Under the Michigan bill, if the license 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 signed into law by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. 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.

The new law protects the aesthetic contours of historic military vehicles and relieves vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes.

The Obama Administration has extended for a second time a requirement that health care policies meet minimum levels of coverage. The federal government will now give consumers another two years, until October 2016, to purchase health plans that comply with the coverage standards.  Consumers had already been given a one year reprieve last November. The extension is voluntary for states and insurers so its impact is unclear.

As of 2014, most policies offered through exchanges and in the individual and small group market were to have covered 10 categories deemed to be essential. Service categories include doctor/outpatient, emergency, hospitalization, maternity/newborn, pediatric, mental health, substance abuse, rehabilitation, laboratory, preventive and wellness, and coverage for prescription drugs, oral and vision care.
