Vehicle Laws - Historic Motor Vehicles - Minimum Age

SB 452 raises Maryland's minimum age requirement for historic vehicle registration from 1999 model year (25 years old) to 25 years old for all vehicles. It requires historic vehicles to remain unaltered from original design, prohibits daily commuting or commercial use, and sets annual registration fees ($45.50-$55.50). The bill also exempts qualifying vehicles from routine inspections and emissions testing, while adding a one-time $50 fee for vehicles over 60 years old (non-transferable). This affects owners seeking historic registration status for classic cars, motorcycles, or trucks meeting the new criteria.
