Now's our chance to be heard. Maybe this time....we can only hope there will be a change

California Bill to Exempt Pre-1983 Vehicles from Emissions Inspections Introduced

Legislation (A.B. 210) has been introduced to exempt motor vehicles prior to the 1983 model year from emissions inspection requirement. Current law requires the biennial testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles. The bill awaits consideration by the Assembly Transportation Committee.

Fixed it. Thanks.

Lets hope the bill gets some traction - but then its CA and mindless choices run rampant.

In Texas we at least have some enlightened regs:

A vehicle over 25 years old requires only a safety inspection for regular registration. The vehicle can be used as a daily driver.

A vehicle over 25 years old is eligible for Antique Auto registration, requiring no inspection, the registration fee is $10/year.  The vehicle cannot be used as a DD, "should" only be used for parades, club events, exhibitions, ...etc.
