Legislation to repeal Old Car Emissions Exemption Reintroduced in CA
Assembly Bullitin From SEMA Washington Office)
Here we go again. As predicted, legislation has been introduced in the
California Assembly to repeal the state's current rolling emissions test
exemption for vehicles 30 years and older. A>B> 2683 repeals the
current pro-hobbyist exemption and replaces it with a provision
requiring the permanent testing of all pre 1976 automobiles. This bill
was introduced by Cali. State Assemblywoman Sally Lieber (D- District
22)
SEMA urges you to contact Assemblywoman Lieber and your own State
Assembly Member to oppose AB 2683
Existing Law exempts all vehicle 30 years and older from emissions
testing
Current exemption recognizes the minimal impact of vehicles 30 years old
and older on emossions and air quality
Vehicles 30 years and older are a small portion of the vehicle
population and are a poor source from which to look for emissions
reduction
Antique and classic vehicles are overwhelmingly well maintained and
infrequently driven
Legislators and regulators are feeling the heat from failed efforts to
meet air quality goals and are looking for a convenient scapegoat.
