Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 44011 of the Health and Safety Code, and to amend Section 259 of the Vehicle Code, relating to air pollution.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing smog check program in California to provide exemptions for collector motor vehicles, which are defined as vehicles at least 35 years old, used primarily for shows and exhibitions rather than as a primary mode of transportation, and insured as such. Specifically, it exempts collector motor vehicles manufactured before the 1981 model year from the requirement to obtain a smog certificate, and this exemption will gradually extend to vehicles manufactured before the 1986 model year by January 1, 2032. The bill also updates the definition of a collector motor vehicle to align with these new criteria and clarifies that these vehicles are exempt from certain smog test components if they meet the specified conditions.
