[RENEW1]

HB5790 will be terminated and new language will be incorporated in DMV bill RSB1400 on either this Friday or Monday. The sponsor of the bill as well as the Senator and Representative chairs of the Transportation committee feel this is the only shot we have at getting the emissions exemption approved. They felt that trying to change the definitions of composite and breaking classification into street rods, customs and new composite definitions would not fly, at least at this time. There is a cost to be borne by DMV for this change and the cost would be much higher to split up the classes. We'll take what we get (I hope) and live to fight another day. We still have a long way to go and need to be vigilant through the rest of the process. There are many more chances for the bill to be stopped.
