SEMA model legislation (S.B. 5586) to protect backyard hobbyist restoration and collection was approved by the Washington State Senate Rules Committee, clearing its way for a vote by all members on the Senate floor. The bill must be voted on before Wednesday, Feb. 15 if it is to have any chance to be considered this year in the Washington House of Representatives! S.B. 5586 would prohibit cities or towns from enforcing an ordinance, development regulation, zoning regulation, or administrative practice that prevents automobile collectors from pursuing their hobby. Six or fewer junked, wrecked or inoperable vehicles, including parts cars, stored on private property would only require screening from public view if required by local law.
We Urge You to Contact All Senate Members (List Attached) Immediately To Request Their Support for S.B. 5586
* S.B. 5586 would permit the repair or modification of 6 or fewer motor vehicles on private property that are undergoing restoration.
* S.B. 5586 would permit the maintenance of parts cars as a source of parts for motor vehicles undergoing restoration.
* S.B. 5586 provides safeguards for hobbyists to work on collector vehicles on private property.
* S.B. 5586 establishes reasonable provisions that vehicles be located out of public view by means of suitable fencing, vegetation or other means.
* S.B. 5586 demonstrates a real effort by legislators and hobbyists to enact reasonable and fair compromise legislation.
DON'T DELAY! Please contact all members of the Washington State Senate immediately to request their support for S.B. 5586. Thank you for your assistance. Please e-mail a copy of your letters to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.
