Lots of what happens in California drifts east. A smog inspection every two years...That's it.

Got mechanical issues? Who cares other than the owner, who may not and maybe other drivers.

In addition to the societal trends, that smog drifts east also. It'll be in Nevada and Arizona in less than a day.

My last cost of inspection was $175.

All this talk yet nobody has said when the Senate vote will take place. I hope they end it.

The current amended bill has private vehicles and motorcycles ever two years and remove the failure for a check engine light being on.

So that was a public hearing. Do you know when the final vote is?

Docket didn't list the Exec Session or when it would be on the Floor.
That was the last entry that I found.

While I find MA inspections annoying I am OK with it. Once/year with the sticker lasting 12 months. Cars of a certain age are exempt from emissions and only need to pass the safety check. When I drop my vehicle off, I fill out a piece of paper stating whether I want them to make minor repairs (change a bulb, replace a wiper blade, etc) or not so I am not surprised.

All this talk of crooked repair shops is interesting. Why throw out a system that helps get vehicles with unsafe equipment off the road because of some dishonest people? Why not focus on the dishonest people?

Agreed on all, but I'd also be ok with a two-year cycle.
