AN ACT relative to display of antique motor vehicle plates.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Antique Motor Vehicle Plates; Placement. Amend RSA 261:89-a, I to read as follows:

I. The director may permit the owner of an antique motor vehicle or motorcycle, as defined in RSA 259:4, or trailer, as defined in paragraph II of this section, to use a registration plate which was issued in the same year that the antique motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer was manufactured, provided the motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer is registered as an antique motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer under this chapter, and the number of the antique plate is recorded with the director. Any antique motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer bearing a registration plate with the year of manufacture shall also carry, within it, a valid antique motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer registration certificate and a permit issued under this section. The registration plate matching the registration certificate shall be affixed to the rear of the antique motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer, except that registration plates issued in the same year that the antique motor vehicle was manufactured may be affixed to both the front and rear of the antique motor vehicle if the registration plate matching the registration certificate is carried within the antique motor vehicle. The registration plate which was issued in the same year that the antique motor vehicle was manufactured shall be affixed to the front of the antique motor vehicle, to either the front or rear of the antique motorcycle, and to the rear of the antique trailer, provided it is not placed in a location where the registration plate is normally affixed.

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2008.
