Overview: Legislation (H.B. 5765) has been introduced in Rhode Island to require owners of antique motor vehicles to register them at an increased annual fee based upon the vehicle’s weight. Currently, antique vehicles are registered for a fee of $5. The bill will be considered by the House Finance Committee.
