Before any CA members get in an uproar, I suggest you check
the website www.leginfo.ca.gov/. There is no Senate Bill
708 listed and as far as I could tell no EGR retrofit bill
in the works. [There is a bill to prohibit exhaust
cutouts/lake pipes; if you want these on your Imperial you'd
bettter speak up.]

another ray of

beaming out of

| Hi Guys
| The California senate is at it again!!
| California Senate Bill 708 will repeal the
| 1973-and-earlier smog exemption, require biennial smog
| exemptions for all 1955-and-up cars and require EGR
| equipment to be retrofitted to all 1972 and earlier
| cars. For many 1972 and earlier cars, this means they
| will not be eligible for registration at all, since
| EGR systems will not function properly with their
| original design. Clearly, this is another attempt by
| the California legislature to take pre-smog-era cars
| off the road.
|
| The proof is right here, on their own website:
|
|
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0701-0750/sb_708_b
ill_20030221_
| introduced.html
|
| Please call or Email your California state Senator and
| Assemblyperson. This is a matter of urgency, since
| they're trying to push through this legislation while
| no one is paying attention.
|
| Go to this link:
|
| http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/memberinfo
|
| to find your assembly members and email them.
| Thank you.
|
| The bill is currently waiting for assignment by the Rules
committee. I
| recommend contacting committee chairman John Burton and
urging him to
| leave
| the bill unassigned. There's a feedback form on his
website:
|
| http://democrats.sen.ca.gov/senator/burton/
|
| I just downloaded a copy of the bill. The bill removes the
exemption for
| any car built before 1974. It also changes the exemption
from 30 years to
| 45 years beginning in 2005. So starting in 2005 your car
would have to be
| built in 1960 or before to be exempt. It just pushes the
clock back
| again.
| This is the third or fourth time they have done this.
|
| I don't understand why they continue to pick on this small
group of car
| owners. Probably because there aren't many of them, they
don't have much
| political power and Senator Florez can make some easy
points with the
| environmentalists.
|
| Please contact all your friends and family and write to
your Senator and
| Representative to kill this bill.
