Episode Details

Jay Leno’s pushing for a new California law that would expand smog exemptions for classic cars — potentially changing the future of vintage vehicle ownership. Currently, cars made before 1976 are exempt, but Leno argues it’s getting harder to find places that can test older, rarer vehicles, forcing owners to drive hours just to get their cars checked. This isn’t the first time “Leno’s Law” has been proposed — it stalled last year — but this time, he’s got bipartisan support and a phased-in approach: extending the exemption to cars made before 1981, then adding one model year annually until 2032. The bill heads to the appropriations committee this Thursday — a pivotal moment that could ease a major headache for classic car lovers or hit another roadblock.
