Politicians Are Regulating California’s Car Culture Out of Existence

California’s classic car scene helped define global automotive culture. It fuels small businesses, tourism, and a billion-dollar aftermarket industry. Yet, outdated smog laws are pushing collectors, restorers, and industry leaders out of the state—taking jobs and innovation with them.

🚨 SB 712—also known as ‘Leno’s Law’—is the last line of defense. This bill would exempt collector vehicles from California’s broken smog check system, saving historic cars—including JDM, ‘80s muscle, and Euro classics—from unnecessary regulation.

Without action, more collectors and businesses will be forced out, and California’s rich automotive heritage will disappear.

Tell Your Legislators: Pass ‘Leno’s Law’ Now
