What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides for a special category of vehicle registration for special interest vehicles, commonly known as "collector vehicles." A vehicle may be eligible for registration as a collector vehicle if the vehicle is at least 20 years old, has not been altered, and is being preserved for its historic interest, or if the vehicle is, with an exception, at least 25 years old and is a certain type of former military vehicle.
Vehicles registered as collector vehicles are issued two distinctive registration plates, commonly known as "collector plates," that identify the vehicle as a collector vehicle and that display the vehicle owner's collector identification number. A collector vehicle may be reregistered for no additional fee if, with an exception, the vehicle is not operated on the highways during the month of January.

Also under current law, an owner of a motor vehicle that is of model year 1945 or earlier may register the vehicle as an antique vehicle. Antique vehicles may be driven only for special occasions such as display and parade purposes or for necessary testing, maintenance, and storage purposes. Antique vehicles may display a historical registration plate from or representing the model year of the vehicle but must carry current registration plates in the vehicle.
This bill allows the display, on collector vehicles manufactured before 1979, of one or two historical registration plates from or representing the model year of the vehicle if: 1) the vehicle is being operated to or from a car show or parade; and 2) any current registration plate issued for the vehicle and not displayed on the vehicle is carried in the vehicle.
