[Amc-list] Immediate Attention. Act Today

[Nolanatcamelot@xxxxxxx]

Cal Members.
 I just received this. Your 1993 to 1976 vehicle  may be required to have an 
annual smog test. We mentioned this  possibility at the last meeting. You have 
only   TODAY to email the member of the Appropriations Committee LISTED  
BELOW and strongly object to this bill.  (This alert came from  SEMA)

Immediate Action Needed!  

California Lawmaker Trying to Sneak by a  Bill to Require ANNUAL Emissions 
Tests for Vehicles 
15-Years Old and  Older  
Committee Hearing set for August 28. Call  Now!!! 
In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, California Assemblyman Dave  Jones 
(_Assemblymember.jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
(mailto:Assemblymember.jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ) has amended a  completely unrelated bill with language to require 
annual Smog check inspections  for vehicles 15-years old and older.  This 
represents an obvious attempt to  sneak through legislation in the closing days of the 
legislative session that  had been previously defeated (A.B. 616).  The new 
bill is  designated as A.B. 3053. 
While pre-1976 motor vehicles would remain exempt under existing  California 
law, this proposal ignores the fact that vehicles 15-years old and  older 
still constitute a small portion of the overall vehicle population and are  a poor 
source from which to look for emissions reduction.  Furthermore, the  bill 
would direct that the funds generated through annual inspection fees be  used to 
scrap older cars.  This represents another attempt by California  legislators 
and regulators to scapegoat older cars. 
This is the type of activity that fuels distrust in public  officials.  SEMA 
caught this lawmaker’s underhanded attempt to circumvent  public process and 
is now calling on you to help defeat A.B 3053 before it’s too  late.   
Time is of the Essence!  We Urge You  to Call the California Senate 
Appropriations Committee (List Below) Immediately  to Oppose A.B. 3053
