SEMA is currently in discussions with Nevada assembly member Marilyn Kirkpatrick regarding legislation to alter the requirements for vehicles eligible for registration as a “classic vehicle.” Together we are attempting to identify ways that can ensure against abuse of the classic registration plate while maintaining its use for legitimate collectors.

Currently, the bill restricts the classic plates to passenger cars and requires that owners provide proof that the vehicle is driven solely for personal use and not more than 5,000 miles during an annual registration period. The owner would also be required to have another passenger car or motorcycle registered during the entire registration period. The bill also would now exclude light commercial vehicles from eligibility. We will keep you updated as these discussions continue.
