Street Rods/Customs:
Hobby-Friendly
Lawmakers Introduce Street Rod/Custom legislation
Wyoming
Representative, and member of the State Automotive Enthusiast
Leadership Caucus, Pat Childers has reintroduced the
SEMA-model Street Rod/Custom Vehicle bill in 2009.
Following
through on a promise by Childers to SAN members in Wyoming,
the bill (H.B.0002) was amongst the first bills filed in the Legislature.
He is joined by fellow Caucus member Representative Stan Blake
in pushing the bill through the process.
In 2007, the
bill was approved by the Wyoming House of Representatives, but
did not pass the Senate given their short legislative session. SAN
members in Wyoming should stay tuned for e-mail alerts and updates
in Driving Force on the bill.
