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.

Legislation to exempt reconstructed vehicles that are more than 25 years old from emissions testing was passed by the Delaware House and was considered by the Senate Public Safety Committee.

Legislation to exempt reconstructed vehicles that are more than 25 years old from emissions testing was passed by the Delaware House and was considered by the Senate Public Safety Committee on January 22, 2014. The bill passed in the Delaware House last year by a 41–0 vote. Under the bill, the vehicle must continue to meet and be inspected for safety and anti-tampering requirements for its model year.

In Delaware, "Reconstructed vehicle" means a vehicle which has been assembled or constructed largely by means of essential parts, new or used, derived from other vehicles or makes of vehicles of various names, models and types, or which, if originally otherwise constructed, has been materially altered by the removal of essential parts or by the addition or substitution of essential parts, new or used, derived from other vehicles or makes of vehicles. Vehicles exempt from emissions testing can only be used for participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades and similar uses, but not for general transportation or more than 1,000 miles per year.
