CA Smog exemption

[rwtennent]

For those of you fellow Californians out there, does anyone know anything about the status of Senate Bill 712? Looks like it was introduced this month (again?) and would repeal the previous pre-1976 exemption, Instead, the "bill would fully exempt a collector motor vehicle from the smog check requirement if the vehicle is at least 35 model years old and proof is submitted that the motor vehicle is insured as a collector motor vehicle, as specified".

I hope this is not pie in the sky as this would be awesome for my '78. One can only dream

Looks like it will be looked at/acted upon March 24th. Fingers crossed.

HR1023 just passed the House. If it makes it through the Senate, smog laws and CARB may cease to exist as we know it.

If that bill passes you would have to buy collector car insurance to not have to smog

That's a good thing. I have my 77 Scottsdale insured on a collector car policy. Unlimited miles, $25,000 agreed value. $319 a year.

I sent an email to my Senator urging a yes vote. Unfortunately he’s a dem and environmental advocate.

This is bad unless you have your vehicle garaged. I've tried getting insurance for my classics through hagerty, and another company I cannot recall at the moment, and they wouldn't consider them because I don't have a garage to store them in. Having AAA I am able to keep them insured, but for a higher premium. If they require collector car insurance there will be people like me out there that won't be able to get it. More shenanigans from our lib state and officials.
