California Emissions Exemption Repeal Bill Will Be Considered by Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday, June 29, 2004 As you are aware, A.B. 2683, the California legislation that would repeal the state's current rolling emissions-test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older passed in the California Assembly will now be considered in the Senate. The bill would repeal the current pro-hobbyist exemption and replace it with a law requiring the permanent testing of all 1976 and newer model vehicles. A Senate hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 29th. Committee members are claiming that they have not heard from enough California hobbyists opposing this bill. Call Members of the Senate Transportation Committee (List Attached) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to A.B. 2683 Even if you have called or e-mailed previously, it is important that you make your feelings known once again! 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 from which to look 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!
