URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)
 

Senate Version of Minnesota Bill to Ease Process for Designating Classic Cars to be Considered by Committee on March 26, 2014

Legislation (S.F. 2613) to provide for a program that will allow classic car status to be determined from nationally recognized standards and guides will be considered by the Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee on Wednesday, March 26, 2014.  The House version of the bill was approved by the Transportation Policy Committee and now moves to the House floor for a vote by all members (http://www.semaactionnetwork.com/aa_2014MN2).  Under the current system, this status must be designated by the state through a time-consuming amendment to the law.  

We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee (List Below) Immediately To Request Their Support for S.F. 2613

• The classic car plate is available to “any motor vehicle manufactured between and including the years 1925 and 1948, and designated as a full classic car because of its fine design, high engineering standards, and superior workmanship, and owned and operated solely as a collector's item. . . ”
   
• Classic vehicles are issued a single number plate bearing the inscription "Classic Car," "Minnesota," and the registration number or other combination of characters and is valid without renewal as long as the vehicle is in existence in Minnesota.
   
• S.F. 2613 will speed up the process by which Minnesota vehicles can attain classic car status.

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact members of the Minnesota Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee immediately to request their support for S.F. 2613.
