Street Rod legislation introduced in Florida Sunshine staters rejoice as SEMA bill passes through Senate |
|
| Florida became the sixth state this session to introduce SEMA model legislation (H.B. 2248) to create vehicle titling and registration classifications for street rods and custom vehicles. | |
 |
 |
|
The bill 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. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles
will be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year
designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble. The
measure also exempts street rods and customs from periodic vehicle
inspections and emissions inspections.
Similar legislation is pending this year in New Hampshire, Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Virginia. The model bill has already been enacted into law in Illinois, Missouri, Rhode Island, Montana and Maine. |
