Lawmakers consider bill to allow older imported mini trucks on local roads
Summary
Representative Clifton presented HB 308 to allow imported mini trucks older than 25 years to operate on county and city roads, classifying them as antiques for valuation and setting a flat annual value approach; the Department of Revenue proposed treating value as an antique with a $100 annual value multiplied by ad valorem factors.
Representative Clifton told the committee House Bill 308 would let certain imported vehicles at least 25 years old be driven on county and city roads that are not specially restricted, treating them similarly to a recently passed side‑by‑side law.
“Essentially, these imported vehicles over 25 years old, will be allowed to drive on county and city roads,” Clifton said.
He said the Department of Revenue proposed treating such vehicles as antiques for valuation, using a $100 annual value that would be adjusted by ad valorem factors. Committee members asked no further questions on HB 308 during the presentation.
A later committee action recorded in the transcript shows HB 308 was moved, seconded and advanced under the committee’s modified open calendar; the record in the excerpt does not include a roll‑call tally or named mover/seconder.
