I believe that's what I posted pictures of. It was a PDF file but I couldn't get it to save and transfer. That is of the changes.Still no pdf. of the proposed changes ?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Well the images do expand enough to read without distortion And from what I'm hearing the the MVCC doesn't respond to members emails let alone a non-member. The only thing I have heard is there are some guys from the detroit area running montana plates claiming to be "totally Legal" here.I believe that's what I posted pictures of. It was a PDF file but I couldn't get it to save and transfer. That is of the changes.
I hope any changes or new information will be posted here. Montana is a friendly state to hmmwv's and has included them in the dmv wording to be sure they are allowed on the road. That is irrelevant to what is trying to be done here in Michigan with a historical plate other than to point out that other states do in fact allow them on the road. If an out of state hmmwv is issued an on road title from an out of state resident and done legally in that state, such as Indiana, that does allow them on the road, Michigan recognizes the "full faith and credit" clause of the Constitution that mandates states to recognize actions from other states. Therefore an out of state license issued out of state to an out of state person is accepted here in Michigan and they can drive right on through the state. I want to point out again that the head of the secretary of state in Michigan told me that no state has ever issued an on road title for a hmmwv. Simply not true and also funny that Michigan has issued countless hmmwv on road titles from the 1999 sale or if you applied for an assembled vin prior to the law being changed 20 or so months ago, those are all grandfathered in for now.Well the images do expand enough to read without distortion And from what I'm hearing the the MVCC doesn't respond to members emails let alone a non-member.

When your a michigan resident with a michigan drivers license you have 30 days to transfer title and plates to michigan.I hope any changes or new information will be posted here.

The way the law is written you have 0 days basically. 30 days until you can be fined. Yes, that is correct. I was referring to a non resident with a licenced vehicle can drive in this state.When your a michigan resident with a michigan drivers license you have 30 days to transfer title and plates to michigan.

Correct it was revised down to 2 definitions that should carry down to the whole vehicle code act. Revision was done after a meeting between the senators office and the Secretary of StateWell the actual bill has very little of the proposed wording in it. Michigan Senate Bill 1040 of 2018
Has all the restrictions to club activities , shows, parades ,no daily transportation ect .All these changes be good or bad?
The changes are good. Just simplifyAll these changes be good or bad?
HelloI'm reading everything but I'm bit confused with the wording or the amending process , is it going thru the senate floor for voting or has it already been thru and waiting to finalizing?
It looks like they axed the military plate and lifetime registration also , which is good for 99.9% of the taxpayers.Hello
Currently it’s with committee on transportation.
The bill has 2 definitions one for historic and one for military surplus vehicles. This should be a win for everyone when the bill passes.
