Military Surplus Motor Vehicle Exemption (Revision MQ)
Action 5138
 
General Information
Action Summary The Regulation for the Control of Motor Vehicle Emissions in Northern Virginia is being amended in response to the passing of House Bill 1323, which authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a registration card and license plates for military surplus motor vehicles, as defined in the bill. The bill limits the use and travel distance of military surplus motor vehicles and provides that any law-enforcement officer may require any person operating a military surplus motor vehicle to provide the address at which the vehicle is stored for use and the destination of such operation. The bill exempts military surplus motor vehicles from emissions standards. To meet this statutory requirement, the regulation’s definition of “affected motor vehicle” will be amended so that it does not include military surplus motor vehicles. Additionally, there is a Code of Federal Regulations citation update and numerous technical errors within the regulation being corrected as part of this amendment process.
