Ca is now considering the expansion of the special construction titles beyond the previous 500 cars per year to an open-ended amount. This means no smog for these cars and the more the better for us!

I threw together a crappy e-mail, but copy/paste it if you want and send to all of these Assembly Members!


-Assembly Member

I am in full support of the amended A.B. 1740 because it will help mitigate the “black market” value of these 500 sequence numbers, which are often sold on e-bay and other on-line auction sites. A.B. 1740 recognizes the minimal impact specially constructed vehicles have on air quality. A.B. 1740 recognizes the fact that specially constructed vehicles are overwhelmingly well-maintained and infrequently driven. A.B. 1740 will also help allow vehicle owners to confidently take advantage of a newly-enacted vehicle registration amnesty program for specially constructed vehicles that were previously registered or classified incorrectly.

Sincerely

(your name)

Well, here's an update:

Please See Below for a Corrected List of Committee Members)

CALIFORNIA BILL TO

INCREASE “SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED” CLASS FROM 500 TO 750 VEHICLES PER YEAR TO BE CONSIDERED BY COMMITTEE



Legislation (A.B. 1740) in the California Assembly to eliminate the requirement that specially constructed vehicle registrations be limited to only the first 500 vehicles per year was not approved by the Transportation Committee on March 22. However, a modified version of the bill will be reconsidered by the committee on April 5, 2010. Under the amendment, the registration limit would be increased from 500 to 750 per year.



We Urge You to Contact Members of the Assembly Transportation Committee (List Attached) Immediately to Request Their Support for the Amended A.B. 1740

· Under current California policy, specially constructed vehicles that do not receive one of the 500 sequence numbers are subject to a “muddied” titling, registration and smog check process.



· A.B. 1740 will help mitigate the “black market” value of these 500 sequence numbers which are often sold on e-bay and other on-line auction sites.



* A.B. 1740 recognizes the minimal impact specially constructed vehicles have on air quality.



* A.B. 1740 recognizes the fact that specially constructed vehicles are overwhelmingly well-maintained and infrequently driven.



* A.B. 1740 will help allow vehicle owners to confidently take advantage of a newly-enacted vehicle registration amnesty program for specially constructed vehicles that were previously registered or classified incorrectly. Under the new law, the DMV will grant amnesty from prosecution to vehicle owners if certain conditions are met, including the owner filing a completed application with the department.



DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Assembly Transportation Committee today to urge support for the amended A.B. 1740.
