Overview: Oklahoma has introduced SAN-supported legislation (H.B. 4372) to create a new “antique” license plate specifically for vehicles at least 45 years old. This bill would add the new plate offering while continuing to allow the current “classic” vehicle license plate option for vehicles 25-44 years of age. Currently, only classic vehicle plates are produced and shared by both designations—they are available to all vehicles that are at least 25 years old and used primarily for historical or exhibition purposes. This bill currently awaits consideration in the House Transportation Committee.
