AI Summary
- Changes the eligibility requirement for historic motor vehicle registration from a fixed "model year 1999 or earlier" to a rolling "at least 25 years old" standard
- Applies only prospectively to new registrations; vehicles already registered as historic before the effective date are not affected
- Historic vehicles must not be substantially altered from original design, cannot be replicas, and must be used only for exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, and occasional transportation—not daily commuting or commercial purposes
- Annual registration fee is $55.50 (as of July 1, 2025); vehicles at least 60 years old qualify for a one-time $50 registration fee that is non-transferable to subsequent owners
- Effective date: July 1, 2026
