In a sizable step forward for car enthusiasts, burgeoning collectors and SEMA members as a whole, "Leno's Law" (SB 712) in California has cleared the Senate Appropriations Committee and is now heading to the floor for a full vote.
Sponsored by Senator Shannon Grove and backed by renowned car enthusiast Jay Leno, SB 712 aims to exempt collector cars that are 35 years or older from the state's stringent smog check requirements. This bill is a significant step towards preserving California's rich automotive heritage and supporting the specialty automotive aftermarket industry and promises to reduce regulatory barriers to keep classic cars on the road.
