Hi Jody, This sort of legislation is constantly underway in many, many States across the country. Fortunately, in almost every case, it is defeated (or a compromise is reached softening the bill's reach), sometimes at the last possible minute, as the bill moves through the legislative process.
In my role as President of The Vintage Triumph Register (VTR), I am in contact with the folks at the SEMA Action Network (SEMASAN), which is an arm of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association). SEMA is a trade association for manufacturers which produce parts for the motor vehicle aftermarket. A big portion of their member's customer base are the hot-rodders, street-rodders and antique/classic car enthusiasts. During 2007, their efforts helped win legislative victories in issues effecting old car enthusiasts in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. Colorado is on their radar, their last success there was in 2006 in a bill concerning vehicle smog inspections for kit cars. VTR will continue to work with SEMASAN in their efforts, assisting in any way it can. I encourage everyone to join SEMASAN, it's free to join as a hobbyist. Get involved. http://www.semasan.com (Home page of their site with lots of information, a valuable resource including drop down menus for zeroing in on issues you may be concerned about by State and instructions about how to contact your legislators.) Cheers and Happy New Year, Blake J.
