From a 4C's update. It is expected the taxing concept and antique designation from 20 to 30 years in HB 5405 will be reintroduced in the next legislative session.

" House Bill 5164, which proposed to eliminate the use of year of manufacture plates along with many other items related to the Department of Motor Vehicles, was amended to delete the section of the bill eliminating the use of Year of Manufacture Plates. The amended version of the bill passed both the House and the Senate, became Public Act 12-81 and was signed by the Governor on June 6th. As such, the use of Year of Manufacture Plates will continue to be allowed in Connecticut."

" House Bill 5405, which proposed to introduce a state wide mill rate on all motor vehicles, raise the maximum property tax assessed value of an antique car from $500 to $2500, and increase the age of an antique car from 20 to 30 years made it to the house floor, but was never voted on. As such, the bill was defeated for 2012. "
