Congrats to SEMA Action Network on the passage of expanded Antique Vehicle usage in Illinois! Our friends at “SAN” (Sema Action Network) are our most powerful ally in our mission to advocate for and protect our ability to continue driving the cars we love long into the future!

From the SAN Blog:

Success in Illinois! Governor JB Pritzker signed into law SAN-supported legislation (H.B. 2548) to allow “Antique Expanded Use” vehicles to be driven without limitation for two additional months. Expanded-use antique vehicles are defined as being more than 25 years old or a “bona fide replica” and were previously limited to traveling to and from auto shows, exhibitions, service stations, and demonstrations during the colder months (November 1 through March 31), but could be driven without limitation during the warmer months (April 1 through October 31). The new law expands the months without driving limitations to March 1 through November 30. The law went into effect on August 20, 2021.

 

Thank you to Representative Andrew Chesney for sponsoring this bill and to those who supported this effort—congratulations!

I have been long putting off some writing discussing SAN and will make it a priority, but for now you can learn more here, and support SAN by participating in their efforts in your state!
