I'm sorry this is long and short notice (as usual for legislation involving autos) but it's important. Please read and take a minute to contact your state lawmakers, if you care.
Az Motorist Alert
1-23-05 LEGISLATIVE ALERT: HB2357
It was just posted on Friday evening that HB2357 will have its 2nd legislative hearing this Tuesday 1-25-05 at 9:30am in the Az House "Rules Committee" at the Az House of Representatives located 1700 West Washington at the Az State Capital in central Phoenix.
HB2357 (click to view bill) will exempt "Collectable Vehicles" 15-years and older from e-testing in Area 'A' (Phoenix metro) and in Area 'B' (Tucson metro) and it will also exempt all-years of "Motorcycles" in Area 'B' (Tucson metro) only.
HB2357 was based on a 12-04 Az Department of Environmental Quality (AzDEQ) study that says (on page 21) that the exhaust emissions from CV's (in 'A' & 'B') and M/C's (in 'B' only) are "insignificant" to the air quality of these metro areas.
Therefore, since these vehicles are not part of the air quality problem, they should be removed from the air quality solution (the e-testing program). It's as simple as that.
Please call and/or e-mail your support of HB2357 to the Az House of Representatives Rules Committee members listed below by 9am Tuesday morning 1-25-05.
(Please note that these committee member's secretaries keep score of who calls for and against any bill they’re going to hear, so your call and/or e-mail really does count.)
We must get 5-yes votes from this 9-member committee to pass HB2357.
