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 341.25 (1) (gm) to incorporate the term "manufactured housing unit" alongside "modular housing unit" and "other portable building."

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 issued plate will remain valid for the calendar year in which they are issued and can be used on any trailer or temporary undercarriage owned by the registrant, as long as it is solely for transporting the specified types of housing units. This bill aims to streamline the registration process and broaden the options available for transporting various types of housing units in the state.
