You may have seen this already, pretty scary....from the Shelby Club mailing list. My car (non-SB100) would possibly be affected. I just could not understand the text of the bill if SPCN cars are also in trouble when sold.

Here we go again . . . Senate Bill 1549 has been introduced in the California State Senate by Senator Dean Florez(D) to repeal the state's current emissions test exemption for pre-1976 vehicles registered by new owners in the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District. Under the bill, after Jan. 1, 2009, new owners seeking to register a pre-1976 vehicle would be subject to emissions tests for the life of the vehicle. S.B. 1549 is scheduled to be considered by the California Senate Transportation and Housing Committee on April 1, 2008. While this only affects the Central Valley, any chipping away at the exemption will lead to similar attempts in the Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento areas. This is just a means of getting a foot in the door of reversing the exemption for all 1975 and older cars. First the other major air quality districts will want to implement the same plan and then they will want to take it state-wide for all pre-76 vehicles.
