just sent.... as a rep of the AMVO I also called them today
sir in your state a official at your state vehicle lice agency just declared all former military vehicles (MVs) banned from your roads.
https://mdsp.maryland.gov/ASED/ASED Bulletins/Bulletin ASED-009 Military Vehicle Inspection.pdf
this is 100% untrue, and lacks understanding on how the vehicles are set up..
please look at MIL-STB-1180b, para 5.4 (attached)
and the WI state supreme court ruling (attached)
attached is also a letter from the NHTSA about the FMVSS vs the MIL-STD-1180b
in addition the vehicles in question are considered open / convertible / walk in that are exempt from much of the FMVSS.
this will have a impact on your state such as fire departments currently using former MVs, 1033 program vehicles for law enforcement, other first responders, collectors, your state surplus property agency, people not being able to support parades.
please get back with me so I can supply you with more information and possibly sponsor a bill to correct this. (as we are doing in KS and MI currently)
thank you
