The California Assembly approved 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 was approved by the California Assembly. The bill has already been approved by the California Senate and will now be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law.

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 to utilize California year-of-manufacture license plates. These plates must be legible and serviceable.
