This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) Existing law establishes a motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program (smog check) , administered by the Department of Consumer Affairs and the State Air Resources Board, that provides for the inspection of all motor vehicles, except those specifically exempted from the program, upon registration, biennially upon renewal of registration, upon transfer of ownership, and in certain other circumstances. This bill would also exempt a motor vehicle that has historic vehicle license plates if the registered owner signs a statement under penalty of perjury that the motor vehicle will be used for specified purposes and if the registered owner owns 2 or more currently registered motor vehicles that are not registered as historic motor vehicles. (2) To the extent that the bill would require a statement signed under penalty of perjury, the bill would create a new crime and, thus, impose a state-mandated local program. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
