Hanna vintage snowmobile legislation passes House
HARRISBURG, June 16 – State Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Clinton/Centre, this week said the House passed by a vote of 192-7 his legislation that would make it easier for vintage snowmobile enthusiasts to participate in events celebrating their hobby.
The bill (H.B. 1171) would authorize the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to issue permits for vintage snowmobiles that are used only while participating in an exhibition or other event that is open to the public.
Hanna said to be eligible for a permit under this legislation an applicant must pay the required $35 fee. Once the permit is issued, the owner of the vintage snowmobile is exempt from registration requirements.
"Under my legislation, a 'vintage snowmobile' is defined as a snowmobile that is at least 25 years old and is not operated in Pennsylvania except at vintage snowmobile events, rides or rallies," Hanna said.
The legislation now moves to the Senate for discussion.
