New Smog Exemption Cutoff Year for Cal?

[intocarss]

Anyone else heard anything? or BS?

This from another board.....

"I just found out that there has been a bill introduced in the California State Senate that would change the cut off year for smog exempt status from 1975 to 1981!! This bill, SB1224, was introduced by California State Senator LaMalfa, and at this early stage, I do not have a lot of details about it. I believe it is to be heard in its first committee on March 25. I am just trying to get the word out, so as many California State senators as possible can be contacted with phone calls and letters of support. If anyone in the Los Angeles area could do a little research and find contact information for State Senators and pass that info along to as many places as possible it would help out. I am in Bakersfield, so LA people contacting my Senators will not do a whole lot of good. We will need to start on the Senate side, and then contact Assembly members when it gets over to that side, since this is a multi-step process. I do realize that getting Fontana back to racing is priority one, but if people have the time, supporting SB1224 would be very good for the car hobby, and bring more possibilities for future car enthusiasts to enjoy. I will try to do what I can to keep finding more information and updates on this. I just mainly wanted to make as many people aware of this as possible. Please pass the word along, thank you!!"

I don't know that this will pass, it is in direct conflict with a bill that passed last year. Basically the legislature doesn't have control over that section of the health and safety code, even though they legally have legislative control over the entire health and safety code(California law is awesome like that). An amendment to the bill from last year and possibly the vehicle code would be needed.

I wish they would move the SMOG dates. Wishful thinking if you ask me.
