Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill to be Considered by New Jersey Senate Committee
SEMA model legislation (S.B. 2074) that would create a vehicle registration classification for street rods and custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles will be considered by the New Jersey Senate Transportation Committee on Monday, February 2. S.B. 2074 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. The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation the body of the vehicle most closely resembles.
We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Senate Transportation Committee (List Attached Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for S.B. 2074
