This is probably the 10th or so version of this thing I have personally seen in the last 10 years. They all say the same thing, and they are all pretty much misinterpreted. Every version, so far, specifically exludes vehicles of a special, or antique, or historical interest. They have all, so far, exluded restored vehicles, and vehicles being restored, or used as a source for parts for restoration. I haven't read the verbage of this bill yet, but I am sure, like all the others, it is not intended to include vehicles of a classic or antique status. Beyond that, even the passage of such a bill is technically illegal, and can be fought in court. Most of these bills are implicating vehicles such as Chevy Celebrities, and Dodge Omnis, and things like that. Cars that have little no significant value as a collectable, or retail market vehicle. (sometimes it pays to have the phone numbers to your state representatives saved in your cell phones, and keep in contact with them on a fairly regular basis).

So I just read the text of this H.B. 1207. It is the implementation of a "VOLUNTARY" program, used to "ENCOURAGE" trading in older daily drivers on something newer and cleaner. You have to be an "ELIGABLE" applicant......income of at least 300% below government poverty level. Another bill that'll never make it to law, and is gonna get blown out of proportion.
