[Nolanatcamelot@xxxxxxx]

California Members.
I just received  this. Your 1993 to 1976 vehicle may be required to have an 
annual smog test.  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). Hopefully you 
were  already alerted to this bill and have taken necessary action.

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@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
