Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 4, Part 1 and Title 55, Chapter 4, Part 2.
Present law authorizes the owner or lessee of an antique motor vehicle to display the license plates from an era when the manufacture of such vehicle occurred instead of the current license plates if the current license plates are maintained in the vehicle by the owner or lessee and produced for inspection upon the request of a law enforcement officer. This bill revises the present law by, instead, authorizing such an owner or lessee to display on the vehicle, when the vehicle is stationary, the license plate from an era when the vehicle was manufactured instead of the current license plate registered to the owner or lessee. However, this bill requires the owner or lessee to display the current license plate on the vehicle when the vehicle is being operated on any highway, road, or street open for public use in this state.
