Assembly Bill 425 amends the registration requirements for trailers used in the transportation of housing units in Wisconsin. Currently, individuals can register trailers for transporting modular or portable housing units, and this bill expands that registration to include manufactured housing units. The amendment specifically adds "manufactured housing unit" to the existing legal language, allowing for a broader range of housing types to be transported under the same registration provisions.

Under the proposed changes, trailers or temporary undercarriages used solely for transporting modular housing units, manufactured housing units, or other portable buildings intended for human occupancy can operate on state highways without needing separate registration, provided they display a valid registration plate. The bill outlines the application process for registration as a transporter, which includes a fee based on the maximum combined gross weight of the trailer and the housing unit. The registration and plate will remain valid for the calendar year in which they are issued and can be used on any trailer owned by the registered individual for the specified purposes.
