Dear Fellow Enthusiast,

On January 22 we sent you a legislative alert with details on a hearing for H.B.199, scheduled for January 27th in the Ohio House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.  The hearing was later postponed, and has now been rescheduled.

H.B. 199 would create a vehicle registration and titling classification for street rods and custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles. In an effort to keep you updated on this important issue we are forwarding the following SEMA legislative alert update. The information is directly from SEMA. If you want to have a voice in this legislation, follow the instructions in the alert.

Thank you for your time,

Your Friends at Summit Racing Equipment

Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill to be Considered by Committee on Wed., Feb. 10

A committee hearing on SEMA model legislation (H.B. 199) to create a vehicle registration and titling classification for street rods and custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles has been canceled. The hearing on this bill will be rescheduled for the near future. We apologize for the inconvenience. As you are aware, H.B. 199 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. The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation that the body of the vehicle was constructed to resemble.

Please Continue to Contact All Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (List Attached Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for H.B. 199

· H.B. 199 provides specific registration/titling classes and license plates for street rods and customs.
· H.B. 199 includes street rods and customs (including replicas) in the historical motor vehicle definition for the purpose of holding these vehicles only to the equipment standards specified by law during the model year listed on the title of the vehicle.
· H.B. 199 provides that a replica vehicle can be assigned the same model year designation as the production vehicle it was constructed to resemble.
· H.B. 199 permits street rods and custom vehicles to display blue dot taillights.
