Vehicle Laws - Historic Motor Vehicles and Street Rod Vehicles - Minimum Age

HB 773 increases the minimum age requirement for registering vehicles as "historic" or "street rods" in Maryland. Historic vehicles (Class L) must now be at least 30 years old (previously 25 years), while street rods (Class N) must be at least 40 years old (previously 25 years). The bill maintains existing registration fees, usage restrictions (e.g., no daily commuting), and exemptions from vehicle inspections and emissions testing for these vehicles. It applies only to new registrations after July 1, 2026, and does not affect vehicles already registered before that date.
