every one in washington state please help to stop this, lets make some noise people!!!

can we make it a sticky so we get the word out to everyone we can!!

here is who introduced this bill, Dem Fred Finn in 35th district--phone 360 786-7902--EM [email protected]

There has been a bill introduced into the legislature to effectively do away with the benefits of having a collector plate on your vehicle. House Bill 1134 proposes a $30 annual renewal fee for Horseless Carriage and Collector plates. Please read the bill and if you are opposed to this new revenue measure by the state government, you need to contact your representatives in the legislature and let them know how you feel and how you want them to vote on this measure or if they have the horsepower, to kill it.

If you don’t know who your legislators are, you can call the legislator Hotline at 1-800-562-6000 and leave a short message of perhaps a couple sentences. The Hotline operators can identify your senator and two representatives from your name and address and send the message for you.

This bill has already been read on the floor of the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Transportation. Hopefully, with enough opposition, it will not make it out of committee.

Please share this information with other clubs and any other collector car owners you know.

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT

Washington State Bill Would Increase Fees for Collector Cars and Horseless Carriages

Legislation (H.B. 1134) has been introduced in the Washington State Legislature by Representative Fred Finn ([email protected]) and Representative Zack Hudgins ([email protected]) that threatens to require annual renewal fees for collector vehicle and horseless carriage license plates. Under the bill, the initial $35 license plate fee for these vehicles would remain and a new annual $30 renewal fee would be added. Under Washington law, a collector vehicle is any motor vehicle that is more than thirty years old, while a horseless carriage is defined as a vehicle that is more than forty years old.



We Urge You to Contact Members of the Washington House Transportation Committee (List Below) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 1134



H.B. 1134 ignores the fact that these older cars are infrequently driven (about one-third the miles each year as a new vehicle) second or third vehicles and deserving of reduced registration fees.


H.B. 1134 singles out and targets owners of older cars as revenue boosters to compensate for state budget shortfalls.


H.B. 1134 ignores the fact that many collector vehicles are owned and maintained by low and fixed income Americans who are less able to afford a higher, annual fee.


DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the House Transportation Committee immediately by e-mail to request their opposition to H.B. 1134. Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at [email protected]. Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
