What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill modifies several requirements related to the registration and operation of collector and hobbyist vehicles.

Current law provides special categories of vehicle registration for certain former military vehicles and vehicles being preserved for their historic interest (collector vehicles) and for certain reconstructed, replica, street modified, and homemade vehicles (hobbyist vehicles). Among other requirements, certain vehicles are eligible for registration as a collector or hobbyist vehicle only if the vehicle is at least 20 years old. This bill increases the minimum age for such vehicles to 30 years, except for those vehicles that are registered as collector or hobbyist vehicles on the effective date of the bill.

Read the full summary

Under current law, the fee to register a vehicle as a collector or hobbyist vehicle is twice the regular annual registration fee for the type of vehicle being registered.

However, the owner may subsequently reregister the vehicle without the payment of any additional fee. This bill increases the initial registration fee for these vehicles to three times the regular annual registration fee for the type of vehicle being registered.

Current law provides certain restrictions on the operation of vehicles registered as collector or hobbyist vehicles. Among these restrictions, such a vehicle generally may not be operated on a highway during the month of January. This bill extends the nonoperation period to the period between December 15 and February 15.
