The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Since 1997, Iowa has allowed certain motor vehicles which are model year 1948 or older, and certain reconstructed or specially constructed vehicles built to resemble vehicles which are model year 1948 or older, to display one registration plate on the rear of the vehicle if the other registration plate issued to the vehicle is carried in the vehicle at all times when the vehicle is operated on a public highway. Trucks registered for more than five tons, autocycles, motorcycles, and truck tractors are excluded from the provision. This bill expands the provision to include motor vehicles which are model year 1978 or older, and reconstructed or specially constructed vehicles built to resemble vehicles which are model year 1978 or older. The bill does not amend the list of vehicles excluded from the provision under current law.
