Here's the latest on the progress of the Arizona emissions bill. Again, we can use all the support we can get!
Arizona Emissions Test Exemption for Collectible Vehicles To be Considered by Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday, March 8th.
A bill (H.B. 2357) to exempt qualified collectible vehicles 15 years old and older from the state's mandatory emissions inspection and maintenance program passed in the Arizona House of Representatives. Qualifying vehicles would have to maintain appropriate collectible or classic automobile insurance to retain these benefits. THE BILL NOW MOVES TO THE SENATE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, WHERE IT WILL BE CONSIDERED ON MARCH 8TH.
ACT NOW! Contact Senate Transportation Committee Members (List Attached) Immediately to Request Support for this Bill
H.B. 2357 defines collectible vehicles as 15 years old or older, of unique or rare design, of limited production and an object of curiosity and maintained primarily for car club activities, exhibitions, parades, etc. and is used infrequently for other purposes.
H.B. 2357 provides for a rolling 15-year emissions inspection exemption that would exempt qualifying vehicles upon enactment and would pick up an additional model year for each year the law is in effect.
H.B. 2357 provides for an emissions inspection exemption for collectible vehicles for which the owner holds appropriate insurance coverage.
H.B. 2357 acknowledges the relatively minimal environmental impact of older vehicles, such as the older vehicles targeted for this exemption.
H.B. 2357 recognizes that such vehicles constitute a small portion of the vehicle fleet and are well-maintained and infrequently operated.
DON'T DELAY! Please contact members of the Arizona Senate Transportation Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support for this bill.
