And to my son, the cars that were there when he was growing up are historic. This car was new when he was two. And no, this isnt mine.

3/4 of those dipshits w/ historic tags are probably also roaming around with no insurance, suspended tags or license and dope in their pockets. Yea, I want them driving around....
In 1976 I was occasionally driving my 1927 Dodge Brothers coupe to high school. These days, a 1978 Bronco is my backup driver and was my daily for many years. Both nearly the same age since new....

HB 352 takes effect on July 1st 2025...
- Historic will only apply to model vehicles "1999 and older."
- All 2000-2005 model vehicles currently registered Historic will need to re-register with standard plates.
- Any 2000-2005 Historic tagged vehicles without a current safety inspection will need to get one completed in order to re-register.
- Historic registration rate increases. (I believe it is to ~$55)
- Standard vehicle registration rates will increase as well

So point three applies to historic switching to regular, I think.

Also.. I do not see any deadline for re-registering the 2000-2005 models. Possibly when their current Historic reg. comes due??

So, how long before they start chasing all the trailers with Maine tags on them? The Governor is all about revenue and we know that's got to be cutting into his required influx of fee money.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Well they aren't motor vehicles. They aren't driven, only pulled. And they don't require motor vehicle insurance nor a license to operate. They won't be chasing these anytime soon.

Moore is asking you to hold my beer.

That's a fair assessment. However, there are tag and title fees involved with those trailers. I can confirm that my small boat trailer just cost me quite a bit more to renew the tags for two years than in years past. I'm sure Moore will be licking his chops at the thought of hitting all of these commercial trailers used by construction companies paying big fees to tag them.

Lol, you're picking up what I'm putting down.
About the same time boats aren't registered in Delaware.
Do they still do that these days?

I've lost several trailer tags over the years. I've never seen LEO enforce anything relative to trailers.
Now a "commercial" (size & Weight) trailer I've been told the State Police pull over regularly going from St. Mary's to Calvert.

Not sure what you changed?
I do this for a living, and when you see the fee increases July 1 i think everyone will be shocked. Gov Moore is raising almost EVERY fee in the state, especially MVA fees, and substantially. We are not talking about 10% inflationary increases, but upwards of 100% and more in many cases. Historic tags are one thing, more of a distraction than anything. How about renewing the tags on your tahoe now costing $400 every 2 yrs. Or the titling fee doubling to $200 from $100 and tax rate to 6.5%. If you buy a $1000 car for your kid, it may cost you $750 to register it and thats not counting the md state inspection. Pucker up Marylanders. Youve gotta bail out spend happy Gov Moore
