The Nevada Assembly Transportation Committee amended and approved legislation to alter the requirements for vehicles eligible for registration as a classic vehicle.

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

Legislation to alter the requirements for vehicles eligible for registration as a “classic vehicle” was amended and approved by the Nevada Assembly Transportation Committee. The bill will now be sent to the floor of the assembly for a vote by all members. Under the amendment, only vehicles manufactured prior to 1996 would be eligible for a classic vehicle registration.

Currently, vehicles 25 years old and older are eligible. The bill also changes the depreciation schedule for the governmental services tax to provide that passenger vehicles and trucks will be valued at 10% less of their initial value than they are currently valued. A separate bill to repeal the emissions test exemption for all classic vehicles, classic rods, street rods and old-timer vehicles was also approved. Under that bill, all vehicles manufactured before 1996 would instead be exempted. These bills contain a mixture of pro- and anti-hobby provisions.

	The New Hampshire Senate approved legislation to include trucks more than 25 years old (regardless of weight) in the definition of eligible “Antique Motor Vehicles.”

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

Legislation to include trucks more than 25 years old (regardless of weight) in the definition of eligible “Antique Motor Vehicles” was approved by the full New Hampshire Senate. Having already been approved by the House, the bill will now be sent to the governor for her signature and enactment into law.

The bill provides the option for older trucks to take advantage of the many accommodations available to antique motor vehicles. Under New Hampshire law, antique motor vehicles pay a minimal registration fee. In addition, antiques are only inspected every two years, can use year-of-manufacture license plates and are exempted from certain equipment requirements. Antique motor vehicles may be used in exhibitions, club activities, parades and other functions of public interest.

	Legislation that threatened to increase annual registration fees by $25 for all motor vehicles was reduced to $21 and sent to the Idaho governor for his signature and enactment into law.

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

Under an agreement reached by the House and Senate, legislation that threatened to increase annual registration fees by $25 for all motor vehicles was reduced to $21 and sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law. Originally passed by the House as a $15 increase, the bill was amended and passed by the Senate as a $25 increase. Registration fees for vehicles of all types and ages would be raised by $21.

The bill makes no special exception for hobby cars such as kits, classics, old timers, reconstructed, replica, specially constructed and street rods that constitute a small portion of the vehicle fleet, are infrequently operated and deserving of lower registration fees.
