California lawmakers passed Leno's Law, exempting pre-1981 classic cars from smog checks. The bill now awaits Governor Newsom's signature, affecting car collectors and emissions policy.
背景
California has strict emissions rules requiring smog checks for gasoline vehicles from model year 1976 onward. Car collectors and enthusiasts argue these rules are overly restrictive for classic cars, which are rarely driven and hard to service at smog facilities. Jay Leno, a comedian and noted car collector, has championed this bill to ease regulations for older vehicles.
