HB2294 vehicle title and registration (Pierce) was amended in conference committee to include an unrelated section in session law dealing with exemptions from the vehicle emissions program in both Area A (Phoenix area) and Area B (Tucson area). This portion of the bill expands a section of session law passed last year that required the Department of Environmental Quality to ask the US Environmental Protection Agency for exemptions from the emissions program for motorcycles and classic vehicles to now include all vehicles 25 years old and older. They are required to make this request if they determine that there is not a "significant" air quality benefit. It goes on to require the Department of Environmental Quality to come up with alternative control measures in order to allow for these exemptions. The bill passed in both houses and goes to the governor.
