Got this from Moss today:
Immediate Action Needed!
Committee Hearing set for August 28. Call Now!!!
In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, California Assemblyman Dave Jones
(Assemblymember.jones@assembly.ca.gov) has amended a completely
unrelated bill with language to require annual Smog check inspections
for vehicles 15-years old and older. This represents an obvious attempt
to sneak through legislation in the closing days of the legislative
session that had been previously defeated (A.B. 616). The new bill is
designated as A.B. 3053.
While pre-1976 motor vehicles would remain exempt under existing
California law, this proposal ignores the fact that vehicles 15-years
old and older still constitute a small portion of the overall vehicle
population and are a poor source from which to look for emissions
reduction. Furthermore, the bill would direct that the funds generated
through annual inspection fees be used to scrap older cars. This
represents another attempt by California legislators and regulators to
scapegoat older cars.
