Overview: Rhode Island Introduced a bill (H.B. 7016) to provide a courtesy plate for vehicles 25 years old or older. In addition, the state introduced a separate bill (H.B. 7230) that provides a courtesy Year-of Manufacture plate to vehicles 25 years old or older.  Under the current law, “Antique” plates are available for vehicles that are at least 25 years old and used only for exhibitions, parades, and car club activities.  Vehicles currently registered as “Antique” may purchase and display replica Year-of-Manufacture plates with DMV approval.
