Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue special identification plates to the owner of a vehicle that meets specified criteria and is operated or moved over the highway primarily for the purpose of historical exhibition or other similar purpose, subject to a specified fee. Under existing law, a motor vehicle may be eligible for special identification plates if it has an engine of 16 or more cylinders and was manufactured before 1965, was manufactured in 1922 or earlier, or was manufactured after 1942 and is at least 25 years old and of historic interest.
Existing law authorizes issuance of special license plates for a motorcycle manufactured in or before 1942, upon application and payment of fees, as specified.
This bill would authorize issuance of those special license plates
for a motorcycle manufactured after 1942 if the motorcycle is at least 25 years old and is of historic interest, as defined. The bill would make additional technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
