Assembly Bill 346 proposes significant changes to the fleet registration process for motor vehicles in Wisconsin. The bill allows owners of fleets consisting of 10 or more vehicles to register a broader range of vehicles, including motor trucks with a gross weight between 8,001 and 54,000 pounds, truck tractors or road tractors weighing between 4,500 and 54,000 pounds, and trailers with a gross weight of up to 80,000 pounds. Additionally, the bill eliminates the requirement for distinctive registration plates to have the word "Fleet" embossed on them and repeals the provision that allowed for fleet registration of 100 or more trailers.

The bill also introduces new legal language to clarify the registration process, including the stipulation that vehicles registered under certain sections cannot be registered under the new fleet registration section. It amends existing statutes to reflect these changes and ensures that the Department of Transportation provides the same registration expiration date for all vehicles in a fleet. The bill aims to streamline the registration process while expanding the types of vehicles eligible for fleet registration.
