Senate Bill 426 proposes an amendment to the registration process for trailers used in the transportation of housing units in Wisconsin. Currently, the law allows for the registration of trailers specifically for transporting modular housing units. This bill expands the scope of registration to include trailers used for transporting manufactured housing units as well. The amendment modifies the existing statute by inserting the term "manufactured housing unit" alongside "modular housing unit" in the relevant sections.

Under the proposed changes, individuals can apply to the Department of Transportation for registration as a transporter, provided they pay the applicable fee. The registration and associated plate will remain valid for the calendar year in which they are issued and can be used on any trailer owned by the registrant for the specified purpose. This change aims to streamline the registration process and accommodate a broader range of housing transport needs within the state.
