SB 712: Smog check: motor vehicles: exemption.

This bill aims to amend and expand California's smog check program to exempt certain vehicles from inspection requirements. Starting January 1, 2027, vehicles manufactured prior to 1981, with a special historical vehicle identification plate, and insured as collector vehicles, will be fully exempt from biennial smog checks. The exemption will expand by one model year every year for five years, starting from January 1, 2028. This exemption applies to vehicles that meet specific conditions, including age, model year, and emissions standards.
