Overview: Legislation (S.B. 1429) to expand the authorizationof year-of-manufacture license plates to include owners of 1980 or older model-year vehicles was approved by the California Senate. Current law only authorizes owners of vehicles that are of a 1969 or older model-year or owners of a commercial vehicle or pickup truck that is a 1972 or older to utilize California year-of-manufacture license plates. These plates must be legible and serviceable. The bill now moves to the Assembly Transportation Committee for consideration.
