Delaware Governor John Carney signed into law SEMA-supported legislation (H.B. 31) easing the process of registering a street rod by favorably changing the existing age and equipment requirements.

The new law changes the definition of “street rod” from vehicles manufactured prior to ’70 to vehicles at least 25 years old, removes the requirement that a street rod’s tires be covered by a fender and exempts street rods from equipment requirements that were not a condition of sale when the vehicle was manufactured.
