URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
 

New Hampshire Bill to Expand Year-of-Manufacture Plates Law to be Considered on Feb. 11, 2014

Legislation (H.B. 1183) to expand the range of model year vehicles eligible to use original year-of-manufacture license plates on antique motor vehicles will be considered by the New Hampshire House Transportation Committee on Tuesday, February 11, 2014.  Currently, only 1960 and earlier model year antique vehicles are eligible to use these plates.  Under the bill, eligibility would be expanded to include all 1975 and earlier model years.  

If You Have Not Done So Already, We Urge You to Contact members of the House Transportation Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for H.B. 1183

  • In New Hampshire, an antique motor vehicle or motorcycle is “any motor vehicle over 25 years old which is maintained for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades and other functions of public interest.”
     
  • Under New Hampshire law, to use year-of manufacture plates the registration plate matching the registration certificate must be carried within the antique motor vehicle. Antique motor vehicles bearing a registration plate with the year of manufacture must also carry, within it, a valid antique motor vehicle registration certificate and permit. 

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact all members of the New Hampshire House Transportation Committee to request support for H.B. 1183.  

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.
