SB 280: Allow registration of a humvee as a historical motor vehicle

The bill allows for the registration of high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMWVs), such as Humvees, manufactured for military purposes in Ohio. It amends sections related to vehicle definitions and adds new sections to include HMWVs under motor vehicle regulations. The changes ensure that these vehicles can be registered and used according to state laws while maintaining safety standards.<br><p>The bill allows the use of modified Humvees for general transportation on public roads and highways if they meet certain conditions. Owners must ensure their vehicles are in safe operating condition, comply with vehicle inspection standards, have proof of financial responsibility, obtain a certificate of title, and register them as passenger cars. Additionally, the bill permits limited purpose use such as club activities or maintenance travel without full registration requirements.</p>
