Michigan Bill to Expand Use of Historic Vehicles Approved by Committee; Moves to Vote by All Senators

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)

Legislation (S.B. 1146) that would amend the state’s current law governing historic motor vehicles to permit their unlimited use as “exhibition” vehicles the entire month of August each year was passed by the Michigan Senate Transportation Committee.  Under current Michigan law, use of historic vehicles is limited to participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and similar uses, including mechanical testing, but not for general transportation.  The bill now moves to the floor of the Senate for a vote by all Senators.

We Urge You to Contact Members of the Michigan Senate (List Below) in Support of S.B. 1146

  • S.B. 1146 will provide Michigan historic vehicle owners the opportunity to enjoy recreational driving in the month of August in addition to the other sanctioned uses.  
     
  • S.B. 1146 provides added incentive to owners of qualifying historic vehicles (more than 25-years old) to register as “historic.”  

Please contact members of the Michigan Senate immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support of S.B. 1146.   Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.  Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.  Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
