The California Senate Transportation and Housing Committee will consider legislation to expand the authorization of year-of-manufacture license plates to include owners of ’80 or older model-year vehicles.

Legislation to expand the authorization of year-of-manufacture license plates to include owners of ’80 or older model-year vehicles will be considered by the California Senate Transportation and Housing Committee on Tuesday, April 19, 2016. Current law only authorizes owners of vehicles that are of a ’69 or older model year or owners of a commercial vehicle or pickup that is a ’72 or older model year to utilize California year-of-manufacture license plates. These plates must be legible and serviceable.
