Senate Bill 1811/Smog Check...must read.

[Joe Bob]

For those of you that own a late 70s motor vehicle, your rights to current
law are being taken away.....SB 1811, passed by the Senate May 31 ,2000 and
submitted to the assembly will repeal the current law that will give a
rolling 30 year exemption from smog checks for all cars starting in
2004....if passed by the assembly the bill will stabilize the exemption to
vehicles manufactured prior to 1975 ONLY.............

If you feel this is wrong, PLEASE contact your local assembly person and
voice your opposition....

A while back, I posted that I had spoken with the author's aide, and he
stated that the exemption section was to be deleted prior to passage....I
speculated on the list that I don't trust politicians and the weenies that
work for them....well I was right and that section is still in
there.....lying sack of dog manure....

So make your calls if want your late 70s vehicle to be exempt....call early,
call often....SB 1811 was passed 40-0 in the Senate.....someone is pushing
this bill, and they don't have your interests at heart......can you say smog
shop lobby????

And before you ask....yes I am smog nazi, but this really bites....any car
that lasts 30 years on the road should get a break, not be subjected to smog
parts speculators....when your NLA parts break...

Rant mode off, fire up the barbee, have a beer.....

Mikez, I am confused. I went to www.senate.gov to look up what this bill was all about. SB 1811 doesn't say anything about smog.

From the 106th Congress bill is titled
For the relief of Sophia Shidlivsky and her husband Vasili Chidlivski.

From the 105th Congress bill is titled
Safer Seniors Medical Care Act of 1998

Can you point me in the direction of this bill? Thank you

Pretty sure Mike is referring to the California state Senate. No effect for us Nevadans smog test required '68->, but I did get my '75 with dual IDF 40s to pass.

It may be only California, but most states follow CA's lead in smog stuff....
