URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (Important Update)

Emissions Exemption Repeal Bill Scheduled for April 12 Hearing in Sacramento

Thank you for your enthusiastic response to our previous messages regarding A.B. 2683, the California legislation that would repeal the state's current rolling emissions-test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older. As you are aware, A.B. 2683 would repeal the current pro-hobbyist exemption and replace it with a law requiring the permanent testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles. The bill will be considered in the California Assembly's Transportation Committee on April 12. We will provide additional information as it becomes available.

We Urge You to Contact the Members of the Assembly Transportation Committee (List Attached) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to A.B. 2683

Our arguments are the same:

Existing law in California exempts all vehicles 30 years old and older from emissions testing.

California's current emissions-testing exemption recognizes the minimal impact of vehicles 30 years old and older on vehicle emissions and air quality.

Vehicles 30 years old and older constitute a small portion of the overall vehicle population and are a poor source for emissions reduction.

Antique and classic vehicles are overwhelmingly well-maintained and infrequently driven (about one-third the miles each year as a new vehicle).

Legislators and regulators are feeling the heat from a failed effort to meet air-quality goals and are looking for a convenient scapegoat. The old car hobby should not carry the burden of their mistakes!
