RE: Public Act 2009-0187 (2009 Senate Bill 1081)

The legislation to register as the year the vehicle most closely resembles was passed in 2009. The DMV had previously ruled that the provision was not retroactive to registrations prior to the Bill's effective date due to the absence of wording in the Bill specifically mentioning. Hence, the interpretation " might " be the Bill did not apply to a 2008 VIN

" 'No', it had to be registered as a 2008 (the year the DMV inspected it and assigned a VIN) "

" They all say they "never heard of such a thing".

One possibility is to do what Julian did, bring a copy of the Bill with you indicating the provision in the Bill for model year registration, which may or may not be accepted. Seeing Julian went to the New Britain DMV, they would have current experience.
