House bill 79 needs our support (in GA)
I got an email informing me about HB 79. House bill 79 has been introduced to make all cars 25 years and older able to run year of manufacture tags. It is also designed to remove some of the contradictions in the current law. Here is the site to view the bill. www.legis.ga.gov We need to write and call to support this bill and get it passed. This would make post 70 cars able to run old tags too.
I know most of you are only into pre 67s, but anything that furthers the support of the old car hobby is good for all of us.
