Here is a clear picture:
California Annual Inspection: SEMA-opposed legislation has been introduced in the California Assembly to require annual Smog check inspections for vehicles 15 years old and older. The bill would also require that funds generated through the additional inspection fees be deposited into an account which can be used to scrap older cars. In 2004 a new law was enacted in California to require the lifetime testing of all 1976 and newer model-year vehicles. Pre-1976 motor vehicles would remain exempt under the measure.
