The hobby is under siege! Across the country, the “green” lobby is using a lawnmower to cut our hobby out. Please get involved, and follow MAAC; to make sure your voice is heard.

I’ve heard from a lot of historic car owners with questions about the 25-year rolling eligibility, previously grandfathered in vehicles and making sure their vehicles are tagged correctly.
I introduced a bill this session to do both: create the rolling 25-year eligibility and grandfather in vehicles that already had historic tags.
While my bill didn’t pass this session, I was able to successfully secure an amendment into the BRFA that establishes the 25-year rolling eligibility.
Still more work to do, but I’m glad we were able to get this step done for Maryland’s car community.
For clarification purposes, I reached out to the MVA regarding historic vehicles who are coming up on a change in registration. The MVA stated:
"If a customer’s historic registration expires on a vehicle that does not meet current Class L eligibility requirements, they’ll need to obtain the proper registration for it if they want to continue using the vehicle on public roadways. If said vehicle will later qualify for Class L registration when the law changes on July 1, 2027, they can obtain Class L registration at that time. Until then, present law which is reflected in the guidance currently provided by the MVA has to apply."
