As it stands now, the bill does allow SPCN amnesty vehicles eligibility for SB100 but will require the SPCN year be set at 2008.

It's a shame those groups don't understand what a minuscule issue it is with these cars.
According to our local utility if I was to update to the latest efficient A/C system for the house it would be the "Green Equivelant" of removing 200,000 cars from the roads. Seems like they could be more effective going after those type things. The car/carbon story just makes better press.
Going after 10-15 thousand hot rods out of the millions of cars in the state is like stopping me from throwing a needle down the hall way.
