A version of SEMA model legislation to create a vehicle titling and registration classification for specially constructed vehicles has been introduced in the Maryland House of Delegates. The bill (H.B. 155) defines a specially constructed vehicle as a vehicle that was constructed from any combination of new or used parts; was not originally constructed by a generally recognized vehicle manufacturer and has not been materially altered.
We Urge You to Contact Members of the Maryland House Committee on Environmental Matters (List Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for H.B. 155.
For those interested in attending the hearing to voice their support, the Committee will meet on Tue., Feb. 8 at 1:00 p.m. at the following address:
Room 251
House Office Building
6 Bladen St.
Annapolis, MD 21401-1912
- H.B. 155 provides a specific registration and titling class for specially constructed vehicles, including kits and replicas.
- H.B. 155 allows for the use of non-original materials.
- H.B. 155 exempts specially constructed vehicles from standard equipment requirements and emissions inspections.
- H.B. 155 provides that vehicles titled and registered as specially constructed may only be used for occasional transportation, exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general daily transportation.
- H.B. 155 provides for special license plates for specially constructed vehicles.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Maryland House Environmental Matters Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to urge their support for H.B. 155.
