Maryland Bill to Provide Single License Plate for Historic Vehicles/Street Rods to be Considered on Jan. 28, 2014

Legislation (H.B. 77) to require the issuance of only a single license plate for Class L Historic Vehicles and Class N Street Rods will be considered by the House Environmental Matters Committee on Tuesday, January 28, 2014.  Currently, only Class D Motorcycles, Class F Tractors and Class G Trailers can run a single plate. 

If You Have Not Done So Already, We Urge You to Contact Members of the House Environmental Matters Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for H.B. 77 

  • Under Maryland law, an historic vehicle includes a passenger vehicle, motorcycle, or truck that is at least 20 years old and has not been substantially altered from the manufacturer's original design.  Street rod is a motor vehicle that is 25 years old or older and has been substantially altered from the manufacturer's original design.
     
  • H.B. 77 would save money, conserve resources and bring Maryland in line with other states that have moved to a single plate requirement.
     
  • H.B. 77 would protect the aesthetic contours of collector cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on some original bumpers. 

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact members of the Maryland House Environmental Matters Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support for H.B. 77.    

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.  Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.  Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
