Arizona Emissions Test Exemption for Collectible Vehicles Passes Senate
Moves to Governor to be Signed into Arizona Law
4/11/05
from Gary Nash

A bill (H.B. 2357) to exempt qualified collectible vehicles 15 years old and older from the state's mandatory emissions inspection and maintenance program has been approved by the Arizona State Legislature. Qualifying vehicles would have to maintain appropriate collectible or classic automobile insurance to retain these benefits. The bill now moves to Governor Napolitano's office for her signature.

Contact Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano (contact information below) if you would like to request her support for H.B. 2357

H.B. 2357 defines collectible vehicles as 15 years old or older, OR of unique or rare design, of limited production and an object of curiosity and maintained primarily for car club activities, exhibitions, parades, etc. and is used infrequently for other purposes.

H.B. 2357 provides for a rolling 15-year emissions inspection exemption that would exempt qualifying vehicles upon enactment and would pick up an additional model year for each year the law is in effect.

H.B. 2357 provides for an emissions inspection exemption for collectible vehicles for which the owner holds appropriate insurance coverage.

H.B. 2357 acknowledges the relatively minimal environmental impact of older vehicles, such as the older vehicles targeted for this exemption.

H.B. 2357 recognizes that such vehicles constitute a small portion of the vehicle fleet and are well-maintained and infrequently operated.
Contact Governor Janet Napolitano if you would like to request her support for H.B. 2357.

The Honorable Janet Napolitano
Governor of Arizona
