Legislation to exempt a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer that is licensed as an antique vehicle from the imposition of local license tax and fees was approved by the Virginia House of Delegates.

Legislation to exempt a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer that is licensed as an antique vehicle from the imposition of local license tax and fees was approved by the Virginia House of Delegates. Having already been approved by the Virginia Senate, the bill will now be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law. Virginia law defines an antique motor vehicle as every motor vehicle which was actually manufactured or designated by the automaker as a model manufactured in a calendar year not less than 25 years prior to January 1 of each calendar year, and is owned solely as a collector's item.
