SEMA Action Network Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERTAnti-Hobbyist Inoperable Vehicle Bill Introduced in KentuckyA bill (H.B. 472) has been introduced in the Kentucky Legislature that would overturn existing hobbyist protections for inoperable vehicles, including parts cars that are stored out of ordinary public view on private property. The existing law, which was enacted in 2005 and now threatened, is based on SEMA model legislation and has the support of the hobbyist community in Kentucky. Unfortunately, H.B. 472 as introduced by Rep. Charlie Miller (Charlie.Miller@lrc.ky.gov) would reverse the existing law and allow local governments to impose more restrictive standards against project cars. We Urge You to Contact Members of the House Local Government Committee (List Below) to OPPOSE H.B. 472H.B. 472 would override safeguards provided for in the current law that allow hobbyists to work on collector vehicles on private property.H.B. 472 would allow local governments to override the law and impose more restrictive standards against project cars.H.B. 472 would override reasonable provisions enacted in 2005 that vehicles be located out of ordinary public view by means of suitable fencing, trees, shrubbery, etc.H.B. 472 would override efforts made in 2005 by legislators and hobbyists to enact reasonable and fair compromise legislation.H.B. 472 overturns the 2005 law without giving it fair chance to work.DON?T DELAY!
