The bill amends existing laws regarding the registration and licensing of historic or special interest vehicles in Arkansas. Specifically, it reduces the age requirement for a vehicle to qualify as historic or special interest from forty-five (45) years to thirty (30) years. This change applies to the application for registration, as well as to the eligibility of reproduction or facsimile vehicles for registration. Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of antique license plates to align with the new thirty (30) year age requirement.

These amendments aim to make it easier for vehicle owners to register their historic or special interest vehicles and obtain special license plates. By lowering the age threshold, the bill encourages the preservation and recognition of a broader range of vehicles that hold historical significance.
