Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Introduced in Ohio; Committee Hearing Scheduled for Wednesday, January 23

SEMA model legislation (H.B. 391) that would create a vehicle registration and titling classification for street rods and custom vehicles and provide for special license plates for these vehicles will be considered by the Ohio Infrastructure, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs Committee.

Introduced by State Representatives John Hagan ([email protected]) and Kenny Yuko ([email protected]), H.B. 391 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 the body of the vehicle most closely resembles.

We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Infrastructure, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs Committee (List Attached Below) Immediately to Request Their Support for H.B. 391 :thumbsup:

For those interested in attending the hearing to show their support, the committee will meet on Wednesday, January 23 at the following address and time:

The Ohio Statehouse, Room 114
Columbus, Ohio 43215
2:30 p.m.

Anyone interested in testifying on the bill should contact Committee Chairman Steve Reinhard in advance at 614/644-6265. In addition, those interested in submitting written testimony in support of H.B. 391 will need to bring 25 copies to the hearing.

H.B. 391 provides specific registration/titling classes and license plates for street rods and customs.
H.B. 391 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. 391 provides that a replica vehicle can be assigned the same model year designation as the production vehicle it most closely resembles.
H.B. 391 permits street rods and custom vehicles to display blue dot taillights.
