Legislation has been introduced to create a separate definition for “antique motor vehicles” and require that they undergo annual emissions inspections to ensure that they meet emissions standards in effect at the time of manufacture. Massachusetts already exempts all vehicles manufactured before 2003 from emissions tests. The bill also allows the state to adopt additional standards to ensure that other parts or components of the antique motor vehicle are in good working order and that it is safe to operate.
