I posted this to the E-type digest I'm on and thought the MG list would
be interested in this too. Some of you should be VERY interested!
On Oct. 9, 1997, Governor Wilson signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 57, AB
208, and AB 1492, a three-bill package to improve the state's enhanced Smog
Check program. In addition, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 42.
These new laws go into effect on January 1, 1998, providing greater
convenience at less cost for many consumers.
The new laws exempt vehicles up to four model-years old from the biennial
Smog Check. This exemption is expected to save consumers at least $90
million annually. Because these newer vehicles pass their Smog Checks,
this exemption is not expected to adversely affect Calafornia's overall
clean-air goals.
***************
SB 42 exempts 1973 and older vehicles from the Smog Check program.
In 2003, all vehicles 30 years and older will be exempt.
