TO ALL MISSOURI RESIDENTS!!!!

This bill is important to our hobby! It has already been passed in Illinois and our help will insure it passing in Missouri!


A bill (H.B. 283) has been introduced in the Missouri
legislature by State Representative Thomas Green that would create
vehicle registration classifications for street rods and custom vehicles
and provide for special license plates for these vehicles. A hearing on
the bill has been scheduled before the Missouri House Transportation
Committee at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Wednesday, February 12, in Hearing
Room 7 of the State Capital Building in Jefferson City.

Please attend this hearing to voice your support for H.B. 283 and
contact Members of the Missouri House Transportation Committee and your
own state legislators to request their support for H.B. 283.

* H.B. 283 defines a street rod as an altered vehicle
manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle manufactured
after 1948.

* H.B. 283 provides specific registration classes and license
plates for street rods and customs.

* H.B. 283 exempts street rods and customs from periodic vehicle
inspections and emissions inspections.

* H.B. 283 provides that vehicles titled and registered as street
rods and custom vehicles may only be used for occasional transportation,
exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general
daily transportation.

* H.B. 283 provides that a replica vehicle will be assigned the
same model year designation as the production vehicle it most closely
resembles and allows the use of non-original materials.

* H.B. 283 exempts street rods and custom vehicles from a range of
standard equipment requirements.

* H.B. 283 allows the use of blue dot tail lights on street rods
