Subject: SB 42 making progress!

Date: Thu, 20 Mar 1997 21:50:22 -0500 (EST)



California residents,



Got this from the Nor-Cal Shelby net.  Looks like SB-42 (the bill that will

change our existing smog laws to a 25-year window, and if passed allow all

'72 and earlier cars to forgo smog inspections, with '73 and '74 cars

exempted the following years) has made it through the Senate Appropriations

committee.  So it appears to be making good progress so far.  Don't let up on

your Senators until it is passed on the floor!!

------------------------------------------------------

If you're like me you have been following the progress of Senator

Kopps bill, SB 42 and have seen that CARB and the Dept of Finance are

opposed to it.  From what I saw yesterday this opposition was due to

loss of REVENUE, not the environment.

<<<



This "loss of revenue" is from two sources, loss of the $6.00 cert.

and, apparantly, the contractor who provides the auto-dial in service

that forwards test results to big brother has a deal which must based

on forecast numbers of vehicles, not actual dial-ins.  So, if a class

of vehicles gets out of the system, we (via the state) still have to

pay this contractor for "handling" the would-have-been calls!  How

come I never get contracts like that with the state.



By the way, here is the results of the 3/17 appropriations committee

vote on the bill.  Keep those cards and letters coming.
