An Act to Amend Section 44015 of the Health and Safety Code, and to Amend Section 4000.1 of the Vehicle Code, Relating to Vehicles.

AB 1613 — 2011-2012 Legislature

Summary

Existing law establishes a motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (smog-check) program, administered by the Department of Consumer Affairs and the State Air Resources Board, which provides for the inspection of all motor vehicles, except those specifically exempted from the program, upon registration, biennially upon renewal of registration, upon transfer of ownership, and in certain other circumstances. Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to require, upon initial registration, and, except as specified, upon transfer of ownership and registration, of a motor vehicle, and upon registration of a motor vehicle previously registered outside this state that is subject to those provisions, a valid certificate of compliance or a certificate of noncompliance, as appropriate, with respect to smog certification. Existing law specifies that a certificate of compliance or noncompliance is valid for 90 days, except as provided.

This bill would delete the requirement that the DMV require a certificate of compliance or a certificate of noncompliance with respect to smog certification upon any transfer of ownership and registration of a motor vehicle.
