CT Owners - Proposed Bill 5971: AN ACT CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION OF COMPOSITE CARS

[Redfish]

Connecticut Owners - if you've followed my prior threads, you are aware that under the current statutes, DMV states that Composite (kit / replica) vehicles in CT are NEVER eligible for classic plates, even after 20 years old. If you have them today, you are lucky. My understanding is several folks have recently requested classic plates, without success.

Passing of this bill would allow us to to proudly display classic vehicle plates on our composite vehicle, reflecting a more period correct appearance.

Steps to the process:
The bill is introduced as a concept (done)
The bill will go to (likely) the transportation committee to be drafted
The committee will need to be supportive for the legislative commission office to draft the bill language
If and when it makes it to committee, there will be a public hearing. We should testify and organize like minded to people / companies to provide testimony

I will keep the forum posted, but please share with other auto enthusiasts and companies. I would suggest reaching out to you local reps and legislators to gain their support as well.
