[Healeys] State Smog Laws

[Editorgary at aol.com]

I've been asked to do my column in the next issue of Sports Car Market 
Magazine on factors affecting the value of British cars, so would appreciate your 
far-flung knowledge on the issue of smog controls. As I understand it, some 
states have a cut-off year for exemptions, some exempt all cars registered as 
classic or antique cars, and others have a rolling horizon. I'd like to do a 
survey of what laws are currently in effect in as many states as possible? 

An example of an answer is:

"In California, in order to register or renew, all cars built after 1975 must 
be smog-tested against the equipment and emissions standards that applied in 
the year they were manufactured. All cars built in 1975 and before are exempt 
from smog controls; this cut-off date is fixed and is not a rolling 
limitation."

You can respond to me directly, or post your answer on the list if you think 
others would be interested.

Thanks
Gary Anderson
