Taxation Passed General Election
✓

PEAPAC Recommends: YES

Updates antiquated language; mobile homes are rarely moved now.

Summary

Removes mobile homes from motor vehicle tax provisions.

Biblical Reasoning

Fifty years ago, mobile homes had wheels and were thus properly designated in state law as motor vehicles. Now, most motor homes are only transported once, to their permanent location. This Measure brings up to date an antiquated provision of our Constitution, and we support it.
