Wow, that would increase the value of countless Ferrari's & other
exotics overnight.
I'm afraid it will be party-line vote, Joe Stupidian and the other democrats
will vote against. Stupidian voted against raising the number of SB100 kit car
and hot rod registrations per year from 500 to 750 or maybe it was 1000. Yes, I
like to repeat Stupidian.
Anyway, are there enough Real Americans on this commitee for the bill to have a
prayer?

California Introduces Bill to Exempt pre-1981 Vehicles From
Emissions Inspection Requirement
In 2004, legislation was enacted to repeal California’s rolling
emissions-test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older and replace
it with a law requiring the lifetime testing of all 1976 and newer
model-year vehicles. This year, a bill has been introduced in the
California Senate (S.B. 1224) by Senator Doug LaMalfa
(Senator.LaMalfa at senate.ca.gov <mailto:Senator.LaMalfa at senate.ca.gov> )
to exempt all motor vehicles prior to the 1981 model year from the
emissions inspection requirement. The bill will be considered in the
Senate Transportation and Housing Committee on March 27, 2012.
We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Senate Transportation
and Housing Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately To Request
Their Support for S.B. 1224
* S.B. 1224 recognizes the minimal impact of pre-1981vehicles on
emissions and air quality.
* S.B. 1224 acknowledges that pre-1981 vehicles still constitute a
minuscule portion of the overall vehicle population and are a poor
source from which to look for emissions reduction.
* S.B. 1224 endorses the fact that pre-1981 vehicles are
overwhelmingly well-maintained and infrequently driven (a fraction
of the miles each year as a new vehicle).
* For years, legislators, regulators and stationary source polluters
have felt the heat from failed efforts to meet air quality goals
and have looked to older cars as a convenient scapegoat, using
false data and inflated annual mileage assumptions to further
their case. S.B. 1224 helps validate the truth. The old car
hobby should not continue to carry the burden of past mistakes!
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the California Senate
Transportation and Housing Committee immediately to request their
support of S.B. 1224. Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve
McDonald at stevem at sema.org <mailto:stevem at sema.org>. Also, please
forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join
the SAN

and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
