SUMMARY
This amendment removes from the laws governing registration exemptions for various types of tractors and log skidders the requirement that the equipment be operated by the owner of the farm, the woodlot or the equipment in order to qualify for the exemption. The amendment extends the exemption from the prohibition against operating a farm tractor with a revoked or suspended license that currently exists for farm tractor operation to include log skidder and converted logging tractor operation. This amendment repeals the requirement that car dealers provide notices of sale or disposition to the Secretary of State. Lastly, the amendment removes those provisions in the bill that clarify the exemption from the requirements to establish legal presence when reissuing a nondriver identification card or driver's license.
