Mississippi

The state of Mississippi passed a Senate Concurrent Resolution (S.C.R. 649) completing legislative action and officially designating July 13, 2018, as Collector Car Appreciation Day in the state. The legislation was introduced thanks to the efforts of Senator Hillman Frazier.  

The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced this date to mark the ninth commemoration in what has become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. The SAN is again working to secure a U.S. Senate resolution to recognize the day’s significance.

In the previous eight years, thousands of enthusiasts in the United States and Canada have gathered at car cruises, parades and other events to celebrate our nation’s automotive heritage.

Make your plans to get involved. Individuals, car clubs and business owners have been registering their gatherings for inclusion on the SAN website. We encourage you and others to please pay tribute to our hobby’s special day by holding or attending a celebration near you. Let’s get those cars and trucks out of the garage and onto the road!

Please submit the details of your celebration. For questions, contact SAN Director Colby Martin at 909-978-6721 or san@sema.org. You may also download the official logo and flyer from the SAN homepage and help promote this special day.

Iowa
Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2018 are now dead as they failed to pass before the legislative deadline.

Several bills introduced in Iowa in 2018 are now dead as they failed to pass before the legislative deadline. A bill that would have set a window tinting minimum standard of 35% light transmittance failed to be enacted despite having been passed by the Senate.

Another bill would have allowed model-year ’78 or older vehicles to display a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle. Current single plate law only applies to model-year ’48 or older vehicles. Finally, a bill to allow the creation of special-interest vehicle plates died. Special-interest vehicles are vehicles used solely for public displays, parades, related pleasure or hobby activities, or occasional transportation not related to the person’s business or occupation.
