Stu, thanks , but...... there are many, many individuals that participated in the effort, Initially, RENEW 1 had a bill started, 5790, for the Composite Emissions exemption. His initiative started the entire process

After the Public hearing, the intent of 5790 got folded into the annual DMV Bill, 1400, by the Transportation Committee.

I hestitate to mention by name, do not want to leave any one out, those that attended the Public Hearing and/or submitted written testimony, both individual hobbyists and business owners, approx 8 to 10. If inclined, join in with your thoughts. Also, the support of Representative Claire Janowski who had filed 5790 for RENEW 1

The feedback I received was the Transportation Committee Senators and Representatives were impressed, both with the turnout and the sincere testimony, written and at the Public Hearing, that was done personally as private citizens.

Too many times we hear negatives regarding the DMV. Had it not been for the great assistance of a DMV staff individual, we would not have known the number of registered Composites in the state, low 300 compared to over 3,000,000 passenger car registrations. Just one point in the overall reasoning for requesting the exemption

Nice to see a win for the CT hobbyist and Composite owners !!
