Full disclosure... I posted this in P&R, but this is big, and affects all of us. If Cliff deems it unsuitable, I trust that he will close it.

Yeah. I know. I already started a thread about this, but it's been a minute. I didn't want to keep beating on this, in case the wheels fell off, but it seems to be all but a done deal.
The resolutions (CRAs 87, 88, and 89) have passed the House and the Senate. All they need is the President's signature.
More to come.

I'm hoping that one fine day when I'll be renewing my '88 registration, the smog inspection won't be a circus!

Classic and collector cars tend to be driven very lightly. As such they are not a significant contributor to air pollution. These vehicles should never be subject to a full inspection but should be exempt. My collector cars are driven less than 1000 miles per year. In NJ where I reside cars 25 year and older are exempt from inspection. There is also an exemption for newer collector cars driven less than 5000 miles per year with a special registration that you purchase. This is how it should be nationwide. .
In many states we have governments that tell you how you should think, what your should feel, what to say and what to believe in we see totally un-necessary inspection requirements.

Ohio is waiting on a waiver from the EPA to kill the emissions testing we have.

The CARB fight will still continue and it will still be tough.

What I heard is that they are still doing safety inspections, there. But I live in west GA, so I'm in no position to know for sure.
Or maybe they figure that if you are going to the trouble to own a 30 year old car, that you are going to maintain it and keep it safe.
