ARIZONA LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)
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 unanimously in the Arizona House Environment Committee one week ago. THE BILL NOW MOVES TO THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE FOR A HEARING TOMORROW MORNING, JANUARY 25.
PLEASE ACT NOW. Contact House Rules Committee Members (List Below) 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 Rules Committee immediately by phone, fax or e-mail to request their support for this bill.
