"Classic Car Owners Rev Up Support for Leno's Law: A New Bill Aims to Protect Vintage Vehicles in California. California's classic car enthusiasts are gearing up to celebrate a potential victory, as a new bill, Leno's Law, is set to extend the state's smog check exemption to qualifying vehicles manufactured between 1976 and 1985. The legislation, named after its sponsor, Senator Tom Leno, would spare owners of rare and collectible vehicles from the financial burden of regular emissions tests, allowing them to keep their beloved vehicles on the road without breaking the bank. If passed, the bill would bring California's regulations more in line with those of other states, providing relief to car collectors and enthusiasts who have been fighting for this change for years."
