Kentucky Project Titles SEMA Action Network-supported legislation to create classic motor vehicle project titles was approved by the Kentucky State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Steve Beshear. The new law applies to vehicles at least 25-years old, not road-worthy, and currently without a title or with a title from another state. Under the law, a classic motor vehicle project title would prohibit the use of vehicles bearing these titles on the highway but, once restored, a regular title could be issued.
SAN Defeats Anti-Hobbyist Inoperable Vehicle Bill in Kentucky A Kentucky bill (H.B. 472) that would have overturned existing hobbyist protections for inoperable vehicles, including parts cars that are stored out of ordinary public view on private property, died when the legislature adjourned for the year. The existing law was enacted in 2005 with the support of the state’s hobbyist community and based on SEMA model legislation. H.B. 472 threatened to reverse the existing law without giving it a chance to work by allowing local governments to impose more restrictive standards against project cars. Thank you to the SEMA Action Network (SAN) members who participated in our campaign to defeat the bill.
