This bill (subject of thread) was actually introduced in 2006 under A3540 and of course has not gone anywhere. It was "re-introduced" for the 2008 session under A1495.
I sent an email to John Wisniewski on this (see below). This bill will continue to go no where if the Transportation/Public Works committee does not get it on their agenda and move it along. Everyone should send emails and post any response from any member of the committee in this thread. The Transportation/Public Works committee seemed to move along the "Collector Car" bill which eventually changed the law quickly...
I sent this on March 14, 2008...
Dear Mr. Wisniewski,
The aforementioned bill in the subject line has been provided to your
committee for review and consideration. I believe the bill was originally
introduced in 2006 with good intentions and has not been reviewed since that
time. I would ask that you and your committee review this bill in session
with great consideration for referral on to the next stage in becoming law.
This "softer" regulation would provide more flexibility for the automotive
hobbyist to operate their historical vehicle. The goal of any automotive
hobbyist is to preserve the history of their automobile in a pristine
matter. In most cases the only way to know if something is mechanically
wrong with a vehicle is to actually drive it. Operating such vehicles on
public roads with a limited driving privilege allows the owner to ensure
safe operation while traveling to various exhibition events and car shows.
New Jersey is a state that prides itself on preserving our history and this
bill would promote that even further for the automotive enthusiast.
I would appreciate your time in consideration and thoughts on A1495.
Best Regards
Paul
