Virginia Bill Further Amended to Benefit Vehicle Restoration Projects

Legislation (H.B. 878) that originally threatened to provide localities with the authority to raise from $100 to $500 the amount charged for an annual license tax for vehicles that do not display current license plates was approved by the Virginia Senate and now has been sent back to the House for concurrence.  A previous version of the bill had already been passed by the House.  Earlier this week, we negotiated an additional amendment to the bill that now totally exempts from the license tax ALL vehicles and parts cars that are stored on private property for the purpose of restoration or repair.  Vehicles stored within a structure would remain exempted from the tax.

We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Virginia House of Delegates (List Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for H.B. 878

  • Under current law, all vehicles, even those 25 years old and older are subject to the license tax.  Under the amended H.B. 878, the exemption for all cars, regardless of age that are undergoing restoration (for as long a time period as the restoration work requires) represents a new benefit to car owners.
     
  • H.B. 878 demonstrates a real effort by legislators and hobbyists to enact reasonable and fair compromise legislation.

Please contact members of the Virginia House of Delegates immediately by e-mail to request their support for H.B. 878. Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Thank you for your assistance.
