I stand against this proposed regulation. The requirement
does not bode well with the technology available.
I am a certified opacity
tester and know first hand the manufactures do not have the ability
yet to test only the emissions required per the regulation from
OBD.
I am also aware the DMV does
not have capability now to accept downloads from vehicles over
14,000 GVWR.
I stand against this proposed regulation
because the enforcement is nonexistent. It will only catch the
companies doing their best to comply with the regulation while
other’s outside of California will be able to go for years
before being caught
The proposal to increase the
testing from 2 times in 2023 and then 4 times per year after is
ridiculous and will require owners to have their vehicles tested
more than actually working.
It is
time that California stands to clean the air AND help the business
communities by removing this requirement
