Authority to operate collector's vehicles modified, and technical changes made.
This bill modifies Minnesota's rules for registering and taxing collector vehicles by updating requirements for three categories: pioneer vehicles, classic cars, and general collector vehicles. Owners of qualifying vehicles must submit affidavits confirming the vehicle is used solely for collection purposes rather than general transportation, along with details about the seller and vehicle specifications. The legislation establishes specific criteria for each category, such as manufacturing dates and production limits, and sets a $25 tax plus plate fees for registration. Once approved, vehicles receive special license plates marked "Pioneer," "Classic Car," or "Collector" that do not require annual renewal as long as the vehicle remains in existence. The changes apply immediately upon enactment and affect vehicle owners seeking to register their historic automobiles under Minnesota law.
