I usually ignore all this SB 100 stuff, as I've always thought it didn't apply to me. I registered my beast almost five years ago as a '65 Cobra, as that is what it was registered as in Nevada, where it was originally built, and that is what my local DMV folks typed on the registration form. I paid them a huge amount of money for the registration and use tax. I didn't play any games, just paid the full amount. As I read AB 619, it appears to me that the main thing the state wants is money they feel is owed them from individuals who have played games, by improving compliance with state vehicle registration laws and accelerating and increasing collections of certain owed state fees and taxes. If they want me to change my registration, that's fine, but it wasn't registered that way to lower any fees due the state. In other words, I don't need no stinkin' amnesty!
Here's a little of AB 619:
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting a
vehicle registration amnesty program to improve compliance with state
vehicle registration laws and accelerate and increase collections of
certain owed state fees and taxes.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that a public purpose is
served by the waiver of criminal prosecution in return for the
immediate reporting and payment of previously underreported,
nonreported, or certain nonpaid vehicle registration fees and taxes.
The benefits gained by an amnesty program include, among other
things, accelerated receipt of certain owed fees and taxes,
permanently bringing into the vehicle registration system vehicles
that have been previously misidentified to avoid appropriative state
taxes and fees and providing an opportunity for vehicle owners to
correct their vehicle registration requirements and satisfy tax and
fee obligations before stepped-up vehicle registration enforcement
programs take effect.
I don't have any problem with that. Rich
