SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
License plates for antique motor vehicles and antique trailers; penalties. Provides that applicants for antique license plates show evidence of ownership or regular use of another passenger car or motorcycle. The bill also changes the fee for registration and license plates from $10 to a one-time fee of $50; corrects the dates for issuance of metal tabs; permits use of these plates to carry or transport passengers, personal effects, or other antique motor vehicles being transported for show; and requires that vehicles must meet safety equipment requirements for the model year in which they were manufactured. In addition, the bill (i) provides that DMV shall suspend the registration of vehicles registered with antique plates if the vehicle is not properly equipped or is otherwise unsafe to operate, (ii) establishes a Class 4 misdemeanor for violations of this act, and (iii) requires that DMV revoke and not reinstate the owner's privilege to register the vehicle with antique license plates for a period of five years. Lastly, the bill provides for the cancellation of antique vehicle plates issued prior to July 1, 2007 if, prior to January 1, 2008, registrants do not provide the Department with evidence of owning or having regular use of another passenger car or motorcycle and do not have the required safety certification.
