Legislative Update

Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill
Introduced in New York

SEMA model legislation to create a vehicle ***ling and registration cl***ification for street rods and custom vehicles has been introduced in the New York General ***embly by ***emblymember Bill Reilich ( reilicw@***embly.state.ny.us ). The bill (A.B. 6484) defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles will be ***igned a certificate of ***le bearing the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble. The bill mirrors model legislation created by SEMA and recently enacted in Illinois, Missouri, Rhode Island, Montana, Hawaii, Maine and Colorado.

We Urge You to Contact Members of the New York ***embly Transportation Committee (List Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for A.B. 6484

A.B. 6484 provides specific registration (one-time registration fee of $23) and ***ling cl***es for street rods and customs, including kits and replicas.
A.B. 6484 allows for the use of non-original materials and creates a ***ling criterion that ***igns these vehicles the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
A.B. 6484 exempts street rods and customs from a range of standard equipment requirements (only that equipment required in the model year that the vehicle resembles) and emissions inspections.
A.B. 6484 provides that vehicles ***led and registered as street rods and custom vehicles may only be used for occasional transportation, exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general daily transportation.
A.B. 6484 provides for special license plates for street rods and custom vehicles and permits the use of blue dot taillights.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the ***embly Transportation Committee on Public Transportation immediately by phone or e-mail to urge their support for A.B. 6484.
