This bill reduces the age that an automobile or truck must be to be considered an antique auto in the motor vehicle laws from 35 years old to 25 years old. This age requirement was increased from 25 years old to 35 years old in Public Law 2023, chapter
634. The bill requires a person registering an antique auto to show proof of registration and insurance for the motor vehicle used as that person's primary mode of transportation of passengers or goods and maintain the registration and insurance for that motor vehicle or a replacement motor vehicle during the term of registration of the antique auto. A person may not operate an antique auto when a motor vehicle used as that person's primary mode of transportation of passengers or goods is not registered and insured. A person who violates this provision commits a civil violation for which a fine of not more than $2,500 may be adjudged and for which the Secretary of State may immediately revoke the registration for the antique auto.
