The Maryland Senate approved legislation that originally appeared to subject historic vehicles of model-year ’86 and later to undergo periodic safety inspections.

Legislation that originally appeared to subject historic vehicles of model-year ’86 and later to undergo periodic safety inspections was approved by the Maryland Senate. An amended version of the bill now specifically excludes historic vehicles from the requirement that they receive an inspection certificate prior to titling and registration. However, the bill would still prohibit the use of historic vehicles for employment, transportation to employment or school and for commercial purposes. The bill also subjects historic vehicles of model-year ’86 and later to equipment repair orders. Having already been approved by the House, the measure will next be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law.
