Bill Summary

Increasing from 20 years to 30 years the age that a motor vehicle must attain in order to be eligible for registration as a historic motor vehicle; and providing for the prospective application of the Act.

AI Summary

This bill increases the minimum age for a motor vehicle to be registered as a "historic motor vehicle" from 20 years to 30 years old, meaning older vehicles will now qualify for this special registration status. A historic motor vehicle is defined as one that is at least 30 years old, has not been substantially altered from its original design, and meets other criteria set by the Administration. This change is intended to apply only to vehicles registered after the bill becomes law, not to those already registered as historic. The bill also clarifies that vehicles registered under this status are exempt from periodic inspections and emission control requirements, and are intended for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, and occasional transportation, rather than for general daily use or primarily for transporting passengers or property on highways.
