Calling

 

[MtnSnow]

Looks like the House has voted to suspend today until 5pm and then dismiss to reconvene on Tuesday at 10am

 

[Gunnermac]

I just got off the phone with Alan Powell, who said the Motor Vehicle is going to meet this afternoon. He was not aware of this bill until now.

 

[zout]

Thanks Mtnsnow - saw that just a little while ago - Gunnermac - thank you and that is why this is so important anyone in Ga reading this give a call to their District House Rep - most are not aware and we need to make them.

Keep the calls rollin in and along with e-mails.

 

[swiss]

The motor vehicle committee is meeting tommorrow at 1:00. That works better for everything as I am able to attend tommorows meeting. As Zout stated keep up the calls to your district representatives

I once heard some lady named Nancy said "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it". Heck...it worked once...why not again?

That is NO lady.

Call made to Eddie Lumsden of District 12. I was actually able to speak to a human instead of an answering machine. The nice lady said she would let him know. I thanked her for her time. I should have practiced the narative a few more times but I think I got my point across. Also put a post on facebook asking for EVERY one of my Georgia Facebbook friends to make the call. Next stop, the gmail machine. Stay tuned for details.

 

[unaffiliated]

OK, email sent to Mr Eddie Lumsden of District 12.

 

[Robo McDuff]

Fingers crossed

 

[zout]

Will share one I got back as well:

Thank you I will vote for the bill today.

[Reckless]

On the house web site it says the Motor vehicle meeting isn't until 3 pm? Or is it still 1pm?

 

[zout]

Well I am in the dark on it as well and have been trying to watch the agenda as well - and I keep seeing them 5 words at the bottom = agenda is subject to change. So I am rolling and guessing 15:00 to 16:00 will be their sit down time (of course unless it is subject to change once again).

This is cool

 

[Recovry4x4]

Does anyone know where the FMTVs fit in on all this? I'm pretty certain that meeting FMVSS was part of their contract.

 

[zout]

Kenny - yes to your question.
Grounded Wheeled vehicles that GL has issues an SF 97 to are included (not per name) but by the DOD requirements of Mil-Std 1180B.
They are exempt but comply with manufacture specifications which are pages and pages of FMVSS standards. Remember the YEAR is the factor here and not Manufacturer. GL will not issue an SF 97 to anything that cannot be titled or registered.

Did this answer your question ?

I think so. My 86 M1008 has the FMVSS sticker and is titled so it should be no problem. If one were to buy a 94 LMTV lets say M1078 and was able to get the SF97, it should be able to be registered as FMVSS standards were part of the contract between DOD and Stewart and Stevenson, right?

Are we really at the mercy of GL making the decision on what gets an SF97 and what doesn't?
