[DeTomaso] pending C.A. smog changes

[robert lucas]

Here we go again! 
There is a pending bill (A.B. 616) to require annual Smog check inspections for vehicles 15-years old and older has been approved by the California Assembly and the Senate Transportation Committee.   The bill now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration on August 20th.  A.B. 616 would also require that funds generated through the additional inspection fees be deposited into an account which can be used to scrap older cars.  You may recall that in 2004 a new law was enacted in California to require the lifetime testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles.  Pre-1976 motor vehicles would remain exempt under A.B. 616.
