Proposed Bill in CA May Require Emissons Test for Vehicles 15-Years Old and Older
http://www.hotrod.com/upcomingevents...ill/index.html
Proposed Bill in CA May Require Emissons Test for Vehicles 15-Years Old and Older A California Assemblyman has amended a completely unrelated bill with language to require annual Smog check inspections for vehicles 15-years old and older. writer: SEMA Immediate Action Needed! California Lawmaker Trying to Sneak by a Bill to Require ANNUAL Emissions Tests for Vehicles 15-Years Old and Older Committee Hearing set for August 28. Call Now!!! In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, California Assemblyman Dave Jones (Assemblymember.jones@assembly.ca.gov) has amended a completely unrelated bill with language to require annual Smog check inspections for vehicles 15-years old and older. This represents an obvious attempt to sneak through legislation in the closing days of the legislative session that had been previously defeated (A.B. 616). The new bill is designated as A.B. 3053. While pre-1976 motor vehicles would remain exempt under existing California law, this proposal ignores the fact that vehicles 15-years old and older still constitute a small portion of the overall vehicle population and are a poor source from which to look for emissions reduction. Furthermore, the bill would direct that the funds generated through annual inspection fees be used to scrap older cars. This represents another attempt by California legislators and regulators to scapegoat older cars. This is the type of activity that fuels distrust in public officials. SEMA caught this lawmaker's underhanded attempt to circumvent public process and is now calling on you to help defeat A.B 3053 before it's too late. Time is of the Essence! We Urge You to Call the California Senate Appropriations Committee (List Below) Immediately to Oppose A.B. 3053 California Senate Appropriations Committee Senator Tom Torlakson - Chair Phone: 916/651-4007 Email: senator.torlakson@sen.ca.gov Senator Dave Cox Phone: 916/651-4001 Email: senator.cox@sen.ca.gov Senator Sam Aanestad Phone: 916/651-4004 Email: senator.aanestad@sen.ca.gov Senator Roy Ashburn Phone: 916/651-4018 Email: senator.ashburn@sen.ca.gov Senator Gilbert Cedillo Phone: 916/651-4022 Email: senator.cedillo@sen.ca.gov Senator Ellen Corbett Phone: 916/651-4010 Senator Robert Dutton Phone: 916/651-4031 Email: senator.dutton@sen.ca.gov Senator Dean Florez Phone: 916/651-4016 Email: senator.florez@sen.ca.gov Senator Sheila Kuehl Phone: 916/651-4023 Email: senator.kuehl@sen.ca.gov Senator Jenny Oropeza Phone: 916/651-4028 Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas Phone: 916/651-4026 Senator George Runner Phone: 916/651-4017 Email: senator.runner@sen.ca.gov Senator Joe Simitian Phone: 916/651-4011 Email: senator.simitian@sen.ca.gov Senator Mark Wyland Phone: 916/651-4038 Senator Leland Yee Phone: 916/651-4008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discuss in Our Forums |

Re: Proposed Bill in CA May Require Emissons Test for Vehicles 15-Years Old and Older
we got the same thing here in lower BC called aircare
its cars 2002 and older though its really stupid though, most of the cars that dont pass are ones that are just weekend toys. the only way to get them to pass is to set the timing back andbump up your idle till it runs like crap. its supposed to be gone by 2011 hopefully

The money generated will be used to scrap older cars.

Glad it's a dead issue -- that article said the hearing was to be held Aug. 28, which has already passed.
