Utah's current "vintage vehicle" designation for older collector cars would be replaced with a new "classic vehicle" designation. Under the new category, owners of qualifying older vehicles would pay a one-time $40 registration fee and then be permanently exempt from annual renewal fees, with the specific age and mileage requirements, safety and emissions exemptions, and operating conditions for classic vehicles set out in a newly created section of state law. The bill also updates related definitions and cross-references throughout the vehicle code to replace "vintage vehicle" with "classic vehicle," adjusts emissions testing language affecting certain vehicles including some Mercedes-Benz models, and removes the prior requirement that owners seeking a historical support license plate make a voluntary contribution if their vehicle was a vintage vehicle. It also makes technical numbering and wording corrections to registration fee and title-related statutes to reflect the new classic vehicle terminology.
