URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (IMMEDIATE ACTION)
NOT TOO LATE TO REQUEST GOVERNOR'S VETO OF CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS-EXEMPTION REPEAL BILL
A.B. 2683, the legislation that would repeal California's current rolling emissions-test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older, has not yet been signed into law or vetoed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The bill repeals this pro-hobbyist exemption and replaces it with a law requiring the lifetime testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles.
If You Have Not Done So Already, We Urge You to Contact Governor Schwarzenegger IMMEDIATELY to Request His Veto of A.B. 2683!
The Governor may be reached at:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
Phone: 916-445-2841
Fax: 916-445-4633

With regulators having proposed yearly testing of these older vehicles, these amendments could be far costlier and even more burdensome to vehicle collectors in the future. In addition, regulators could set emissions standards to any level that suits their purposes in order to ensure inspection failures of these 1976 and later model cars. Finally, nothing in these amendments would stop regulators from bringing 1975 and older vehicles back into the Smog Check program at a later date. Those who have not acted, still have time to contact Governor Schwarzenegger and request his veto of this bill!
The truth remains the same:
California's current 30-year rolling exemption recognizes the minimal impact vintage cars have on air quality, since they constitute a minuscule portion of the overall vehicle population. These older cars are overwhelmingly well maintained and infrequently driven, and are poor candidates for reducing pollution. However, they are convenient scapegoats for legislators, regulators and stationary source polluters who are using false data and inflated annual mileage assumptions to make it sound like they are cleaning the air. The old car hobby must unite against this legislative tax that will accomplish nothing except require unnecessary testing, waste money and burden car hobbyists.
Urge Governor Schwarzenegger to Veto A.B. 2683
