If you’re like me, you have trouble understanding why California continues to make it so difficult to engage is what is one of the most quintessential of California pastimes . . . classic car ownership. Since the smog check exemption changed from a 30 year rolling average to a set, 1975 and older cut-off back on 4/1/2005 classic car enthusiasts owning post-1975 vehicles have tirelessly petitioned their elected officials for relief.

The latest California Classic Car Smog Exemption Bill, AB220, has just been amended to require collector car insurance to obtain a smog exemption on classic cars built during the years 1976-1982. In this clip Mike Frankovich discusses the assembly bill and what you can do to support it.
