SEMA-supported legislation to allow the owner of a motor-vehicle trailer, semitrailer or pole trailer manufactured in the year 1948, 1949 or 1950 to display a single original Montana license plate that is affixed to the rear of the vehicle was approved by the Montana Senate. Having already been approved by the House, the bill will now be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law. Under the bill, the original Montana license plate must be legible and bear the year that matches the year in which the vehicle was manufactured.

SEMA is supporting legislation to require the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to provide, for one year, a specially designed vintage reproduction registration plate to qualifying vehicle owners. Under the bill, to be eligible to receive a vintage reproduction registration plate, the vehicle must be a passenger, small truck, historic, multipurpose or street-rod vehicle. The vintage reproduction plate would be designed to resemble the 1910 Maryland registration plate, which has black lettering on a yellow background. The bill requires MVA to set initial registration and renewal fees. The bill will soon be considered by the entire House of Delegates.

Legislation has been introduced in Pennsylvania to exempt from emissions inspections those vehicles registered in fifth-class counties with a population of less than 116,500 residents. The bill would only impact vehicle owners in Lycoming County, as all other similarly populated counties are already exempt.

Legislation containing a SEMA-drafted amendment to totally exempt from the license tax all vehicles and parts cars stored on private property for the purpose of restoration or repair was signed into law by Governor Bob McDonnell. The license tax is applied to vehicles that do not display current license plates, even those 25 years old and older. Under the new law, the exemption for all cars, regardless of age, that are undergoing restoration (for as long a time period as the restoration work requires) represents a new benefit to car owners. Vehicles stored within a structure remain exempt from the tax.
