Wyoming to Consider New Restrictions on Antique Vehicles

You may use the following points in your message:
 

• The proposed changes unfairly raise the age of vehicles eligible to be registered as antique vehicles from at least 25 years old to at least 40 years old.
   
• The proposed changes unreasonably increase the initial registration fee and transfer of license plate fee. It also creates a new annual validation fee. 
   
• The proposed changes mandate specified insurance policies without legitimate cause. 
   
• The proposed changes make it more difficult to register legitimate antique vehicles, which are already limited to club activities, parades, exhibitions, tours, and other related activities, and not to be used for general transportation.  
   

Overview: A SAN-opposed proposal in Wyoming is scheduled to be heard by the Joint Transportation, Highways & Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday, December 1st which would significantly restrict eligibility of antique vehicle registration. Currently, an antique vehicle must be at least 25 years old and antique vehicle registration only requires an initial fee. If passed, antique vehicles would be required to be at least 40 years old, and the antique vehicle registration would be required to be renewed annually.
