This new California Classic car smog exemption bill (SB712) proposes to exempt collector cars that are at least 35 model years old from the state's Smog Check program.
It basically changes the set 1976 and newer year to a rolling 35 years old, provided the vehicle has collector car insurance.
This has been tried unsuccessfully a few times, but there's renewed pressure on CARB given the current administration. There's also another bill called the Transportation Freedom Act that basically aims to strip California of setting its own stricter emission standards than those of the Federal government. This will have a huge positive ripple effect nationwide.
