Motor Vehicles - Vehicles Previously Registered as Historic Vehicles - Emissions Inspection and Insurance

HB 1432 allows owners of motor vehicles previously registered as historic (Class L) vehicles in Maryland to use specialty insurance policies designed for historic, show, or antique vehicles. It exempts these vehicles from mandatory emissions inspections under Maryland’s Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program and instead imposes a $30 biennial fee on such vehicles. The bill modifies existing law to replace emissions inspection requirements for these historic vehicles with the new insurance and fee provisions, directly affecting owners of qualifying historic vehicles registered under Maryland’s Class L historic vehicle program.
