Leno's Law Passes in California: What the Classic Car Smog Exemption Really Means
Key Takeaways
- California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1392, known as 'Leno's Law,' easing smog checks for certain classic cars.
- The exemption does not take effect immediately and begins phasing in on January 1, 2028.
- It covers a narrow set of qualifying collector cars from the 1976 through 1985 model years that are insured as collector vehicles or driven fewer than 1,000 miles per year.
- Collector cars must be at least 35 model years old, used primarily for shows and exhibitions rather than daily transport, and meet emissions and fuel-system inspection checks.
