Diesel Smog Law

[Big Bird]

I have recently become aware of this, though I don't remember seeing it in here, though that I would pass it along.

This is from the CA DMV website:

Diesel-Powered Vehicles — Operative January 1, 2010

Amend, Repeal, and Add: Health & Safety Code §§44010.5, 44011, 44012 (AB 1488 Chapter No. 739)

* Adds diesel-powered vehicles manufactured after the 1997 model-year that have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,501 pounds to be in the biennial smog check program.

Any thoughts? or dare I say it "Comments?"

I am glad (for now) that I have a '97.

I've got the 10,000 GVWR, so I'm safe (for now).
