Bill Summary
Requiring that a motor vehicle be at least 25 years old in order to be eligible for registration as a historic motor vehicle; and requiring the Motor Vehicle Administration to reinstate certain historic motor vehicle registrations.
AI Summary
This bill amends Maryland's transportation laws to redefine what qualifies as a "historic motor vehicle" for registration purposes, requiring such vehicles to be at least 25 years old, a change from the previous "model year of 1999 or earlier" standard, and also mandates that the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) automatically reinstate historic motor vehicle registrations that were suspended or revoked due to this new age requirement, specifically for vehicles that were registered as historic before July 1, 2025, and subsequently affected by the change in definition, with the bill's provisions applying prospectively and taking effect on July 1, 2026.
