SUBJECT:  Automobiles:  certificates of compliance

SOURCE:   Author
____________________________________________________________________________

DIGEST:  This bill states legislative intent language relative to 
šutilizing existing resources of the Department of Consumer Affairs to 
šprepare their required annual report on automotive repair activities.

Assembly Amendments substantially amend this bill by:

1.  Deleting language establishing the authority of the Bureau of 
    Automotive Repair to suspend or revoke automotive repair licenses for 
    violations of smog check and related laws.

2.  Deleting the authorization to use an electronic (paperless) smog check 
    compliance certificate.

ANALYSIS:  Existing law authorizes the Department of Consumer Affairs 
što prescribe the form of the smog certificate of compliance or 
šnoncompliance, and requires the department to annually report to the 
šLegislature on the smog check program.

This bill would state legislative intent that the annual report include a 
šdiscussion of the potential use of an electronic certificate of compliance 
šor noncompliance.
