Thanks to the efforts of the National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan have each issued a proclamation designating July 2015 as “Automotive Heritage Month.” These provinces join British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia as jurisdictions that have officially recognized this celebration of collector cars.

Since 2010, the U.S. Senate has passed resolutions at SEMA’s request to acknowledge “Collector Car Appreciation Day,” which serves to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. This year’s celebration took place on July 10.

Legislation has been introduced to require the state to charge and collect a user fee from each registrant of a motor vehicle. The fee would come in addition to the vehicle registration tax. The user fee would be $50 for each 10,000 miles driven by the registrant during the one-year period immediately preceding a registration renewal.

The bills would require that a vehicle registrant appear in person at an office of the secretary of state at the time of vehicle registration renewal to allow the state to verify the current mileage of the vehicle, calculate and collect the user fee.
