Requiring that a motor vehicle be at least 25 years old in order to be eligible for registration as a historic motor vehicle.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning vehicle laws in Maryland, modifies the definition of a "historic motor vehicle" by requiring that a vehicle must be at least 25 years old to qualify for registration as historic, replacing the previous requirement that it be a model year 1999 or earlier. This change aims to update the criteria for what is considered a historic vehicle, likely to reflect the aging of more recent car models. The bill also clarifies that this change will only apply to vehicles registered after its effective date of July 1, 2026, and will not affect any historic vehicles already registered before that date.
