The first bill introduced in the South Dakota House of Representatives would increase the mileage limitation from 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year for special-interest vehicles and permit the vehicles to have personalized plates.

Two license plate bills have been introduced in the South Dakota House of Representatives. The first bill would increase the mileage limitation from 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year for special-interest vehicles and permit the vehicles to have personalized plates. A second bill would allow historic vehicles to have a single plate. 

Under current law, a “historic car” is a motor vehicle that is more than 30 years old, and a “special-interest vehicle” is a motor vehicle that is collected, preserved, restored or maintained by the owner as a leisure pursuit, and is not used for general or commercial transportation. Both bills have passed the House Transportation Committee and been sent to the House Floor.
