ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 02-6, SIDE A
Number 001
CHAIR VIC KOHRING called the House Transportation Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:08 p.m. Members present at the
call to order were Representatives Ogan, Scalzi, Masek, and
Kohring.
SB 260-HISTORIC/ANTIQUE MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAIR KOHRING announced that the matter before the committee was
SENATE BILL NO. 260, "An Act relating to historic and antique
motor vehicles; and providing for an effective date."
Number 008
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS, Alaska State Legislature, sponsor of SB
260, testified before the committee. He introduced Ken Stout
and yielded his testimony.
Number 028
KEN STOUT, Antique Auto Mushers of Alaska, testified via
teleconference. He told the committee that his organization is
a very active club and conveyed that honors recently were
received by the club for excellence in its newsletter and web
site. He said the club has about 300 vehicles involved. Mr.
Stout said he supports [SB 260].
Number 048
BRUCE CAMPBELL, Antique Auto Mushers of Alaska; Model-T Ford
Club of Alaska, testified via teleconference. He said the bill
allows the restorers of old vehicles to use the same year of
license plate as that of the manufacture of the vehicle. He
said it completes the restoration and makes a "first-class job
of it." He said it would not create a great impact on the state
"one way or the other." He said that his organizations have
worked with the Division of Motor Vehicles, and they are in
accord with the bill.
Number 063
REPRESENTATIVE OGAN asked how the old license plates are
obtained.
MR. CAMPBELL said one of the provisions of the bill is that the
plates must be provided by the car owner.
CHAIR KOHRING asked for a definition of "classic and antique
cars."
MR. CAMPBELL said an antique car is 30 or more years old. He
said a classic car can be almost anything - generally one in
great demand.
CHAIR KOHRING surmised that getting the plates would require a
one-time fee of $10 and nothing more.
MR. CAMPBELL said that as the law stands, there is a one-time
$10 fee for historic plates provided by the state. Under the
bill, the law will remain the same, but for those who wish to
use "same-year plates," there will be the $10 fee, there will be
an additional fee of $30, and the owner must also provide the
original plates. He characterized them as "vanity plates."
Number 111
CHARLES R. HOSACK, Deputy Director, Division of Motor Vehicles,
Department of Administration, testified via teleconference. He
said the department has worked with Mr. Campbell and the
sponsor, and that the department supports the bill.
REPRESENTATIVE OGAN asked about the fees and whether the bill
would affect them.
MR. CAMPBELL said that there would be a new $30 fee for those
who elect to provide their own plates.
Number 129
REPRESENTATIVE OGAN moved to report SB 260 out of committee with
individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes.
There being no objection, SB 260 was moved out of the House
Transportation Standing Committee.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Transportation Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 1:16
p.m.
