New Hampshire Bill to Allow Additional Trailers to Qualify for Antique Plates Approved by House; Moves to Senate

• H.B. 1438 would eliminate the requirement that antique trailers have only one axle to qualify for antique trailer plates.
   
• H.B. 1438 would lower the annual registration fee for the approximately 15,000 of these multi-axle trailers to $6.
   
• New Hampshire law allows the owner of an antique trailer to use a registration plate which was issued in the same year that the antique trailer was manufactured.  Registration plates issued in the same year that the antique trailer was manufactured may be affixed to the rear of the trailer with a year of manufacture of 1975 or earlier if the registration plate matching the registration certificate is carried within the antique motor vehicle and the number on the antique plate is not in use on another motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer.
