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, the eligibility of reproduction vehicles, and the issuance of special license plates. The fee for registering such vehicles remains at seven dollars ($7.00).

Additionally, the bill updates the definition of antique license plates to align with the new thirty (30) year age requirement, allowing vehicles that are more than thirty (30) years old to be eligible for these plates instead of the standard ones. Overall, the amendments aim to make it easier for owners of older vehicles to register and obtain special plates, thereby promoting the preservation of historic and special interest vehicles in the state.
