Utah law currently uses a "vintage vehicle" designation for older collector cars, but this bill replaces that with a new "classic vehicle" designation, defined as a motor vehicle or motorcycle with a model year of 1982 or older that is driven fewer than 1,500 miles per calendar year, or a classic travel trailer of the same age used primarily for collector purposes. Under the new designation, classic vehicles pay a one-time $40 registration fee and are permanently exempt from annual renewal fees, emissions inspections, minimum speed requirements, and modern safety equipment standards — as long as the vehicle's original equipment is in good working order and the owner operates it without creating a hazard. The bill also broadens emissions testing exemptions more broadly, removing the previous exemption for farm trucks over 12,001 pounds and instead exempting all vehicles with a model year of 1995 or older, all vehicles over 14,000 pounds gross weight rating, and pickup trucks under 14,000 pounds used exclusively on qualifying farms.
