Check this out! New verbiage to California's Smog law. In a nutshell, it removed the visual inspection and make it so a car 35 years old on Jan 2018 (model year 1983) and older will only have to pass the gas cap test, the sniffer, and a visual check for fluid leaks as long as we insure it as a collector car.
(c) For purposes of subdivision (a), a collector motor vehicle, as defined in Section 259 of the Vehicle Code, is exempt from those portions of the test required by subdivision (f) of Section 44012 if the collector motor vehicle meets all of the following criteria:
(1) Submission of proof that the motor vehicle is insured as a collector motor vehicle, as shall be required by regulation of the bureau.
(2) The motor vehicle is at least 35 model-years old.
(3) The motor vehicle complies with the exhaust emissions standards for that motor vehicle?s class and model-year as prescribed by the department, and the motor vehicle passes a functional inspection of the fuel cap and a visual inspection for liquid fuel leaks.
This bill has already passed the CA Senate and is scheduled for assembly vote on 21 Aug!
HOLY CRAP! I hope this passes! This would mean we could install whatever we wanted as long as it passes the sniffer and the gas cap test! I am so excited I can barely write!
There is a lot more to the bill but this is the meat and potatoes of it for us.
Here's the write up on it:
The voting history is overwhelmingly positive!
Notice all my links are to CA legislature, not fake news or anything. this is legit!!!
