Bill 1400 Update:
RENEW1 was tuned into the House session this afternoon and heard the passage of Bill 1400 which included in Section 35, the Emission Exemption for Composites, the Senate having approved the Bill last week. While the Governor has not yet signed, passage by the General Assembly hopefully establishes the direction to be taken There is every expectation the Governor will sign 1400 as passed by the Senate and House.
The CGA Tracking site has not yet been updated for the House vote.
Considering the multitude of possible obstacles , a significant accomplishment for the CT hobbyist and Composite businesses such as ERA and Vintage Motorsports/Backdraft Racing. The support at the Public Hearing and written testimony greatly contributed to the inclusion of the Composite Emission Exemption in the DMV Bill.
RENEW1 started the process when he had initially contacted Representative Claire Janowski and she introduced Bill 5790, which eventually for the Composite Emission Exemption portion was included in the DMV 1400 Bill.
