Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or

SUMMARY 
This amendment removes from the laws governing registration exemptions for 
various types of tractors and log skidders the requirement that the equipment be operated 
by the owner of the farm, the woodlot or the equipment in order to qualify for the 
exemption. 
The amendment extends the exemption from the prohibition against 
operating a farm tractor with a revoked or suspended license that currently exists for farm 
tractor operation to include log skidder and converted logging tractor operation. This 
amendment repeals the requirement that car dealers provide notices of sale or disposition 
to the Secretary of State. Lastly, the amendment removes those provisions in the bill that 
clarify the exemption from the requirements to establish legal presence when reissuing a 
nondriver identification card or driver's license.
