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 that have the word "Fleet" embossed on them and repeals the provision that allowed for the registration of fleets consisting of 100 or more trailers.

The bill also includes several amendments to existing statutes, such as renumbering and amending section 341.147, which outlines the registration process for fleets. It introduces new subsections that clarify the types of vehicles eligible for fleet registration and specifies that vehicles registered under certain sections cannot be registered under this new fleet registration section. The changes aim to streamline the registration process and provide more flexibility for fleet owners while maintaining the same annual registration fees and initial issuance fees for the vehicles.
