Ohio Bill to Expand Use of Historical Vehicles Approved by Committee; Moves to House Floor

Legislation to amend the state’s current law defining historical motor vehicles to permit their use on public roads to and from a location where maintenance is performed was combined with another bill and approved by the House Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee. Under current Ohio law, a “historical motor vehicle" is any motor vehicle that is more than twenty-five years old and owned solely as a collector's item and for participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and similar uses, but not for general transportation. The new bill (S.B. 194) will now be considered by all House members.

We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Ohio House of Representatives (List Below) Immediately To Request Support for S.B. 194
• S.B. 194 will give Ohio motorists the opportunity to have their historical vehicles serviced or repaired without the threat of being cited by law enforcement for violation of the Motor Vehicle Code.

DON’T DELAY! Pleasecontact members of the Ohio House of Representatives immediately to request their support for S.B. 194.
