Authorizing military surplus vehicles to operate on public highways.

HB 1366 allows owners of military surplus vehicles (like decommissioned military trucks) to operate them on Washington public highways for specific purposes, including parades, veterans' events, car club activities, and exhibitions. The bill requires these vehicles to pass a safety inspection verifying original or equivalent safety equipment (headlamps, brakes, seat belts, etc.), carry liability insurance meeting minimum standards, and not be used for daily commuting. Owners must obtain a special collector license plate and comply with restrictions limiting use to occasional event participation. This modifies existing vehicle laws to create a defined exception for military surplus vehicles while maintaining safety and insurance requirements.
