Connecticut: Registration, Inspection & Emissions

[Don]

While not indicated on the 2005 Bill log, my understanding is the Transportation Committee did not take any action since there was no public support or input in favor of the bill

The Transportation Committee: 2007

If the Bill did meet todays deadline, I would anticipate the Bill Number, etc would appear in the above site (s ), early to mid week of 1/15

RENEW1 and everyone else:

How would this be as a starting point to contact other CT CC members AND vendors in CT that may not be following this Thread and the initiative RENEW1 took in contacting Claire Janowski:

Solict the assistance of Moderator ComputerWorks Ron KMP178 to determine if the CC software can send a selective PM only to those that have registered as a CT location , which I believe everyone uses as the standard state abbreviation.

The use of PM sent by CC would not compromise the privacy of the CC members personal e-mail address.

The CC PM e-mail would contain a reference to this Thread and specifically the last 15 or 20 + postings. Included would be Claire Janowski's contact info and a request for supporting comments to Claire. Maybe Brent/Ron could expand the approach for the other two forums they manage.

Your thoughts and/or other alternatives ?

I am not familiar with the FFR Forum, but take the same approach or at least make reference to this Thread on a specific FFR Forum ?

I will still contact the DMV Business Services Unit for the N & A of CT Composite owners, but there might be a privacy issue in releasing the information.

Don,
I would agree on all points. Also i have posted in the northeast sections in the other cobra type forums with links to this thread, with a plea to "Read, Help, & Support all of us as i see it matters to all CT. cobra & street rod owners.........

I think we were too late...here's the response I got from the State Rep:

Unfortunately, I have not been able to clarify from your organization
what was wanted since the language that was sent to me yesterday is too
technical and does not agree with the intent conveyed to me which was to
"Exempt replica cars from emissions testing."

The deadline for bills is today and without being clear on intent, there
probably is not enough time to do anything at this point.

Appreciate your interest.

Rep. Claire Janowski

I have not gotten anything from Claire about the bill not being submitted. I got the attached message from her at about 4:00PM yesterday leading me to believe the information was submitted. What time did you get the message that the bill would not be submitted? The statement from Claire mentioned in previous post was what she asked me she needed, and was supplied to her at around 3:00PM. I'm not sure what is going on here!!

[RENEW1]

Forgot attachment in previous message

[Don]

To verify if the Bill was submitted, the Transportation Committee Bill Record Book can be checked next week.

" Possible " that the Bills submitted at the end of this week have not been updated to their Record Book

[RENEW1]

Don, you seem to have a good handle on the way things work. I do believe, or hope, you are right about the bill showing up next week. The way this whole process transpired was messy, probably because of the last minute rush. I thought the SEMA attachment was good enough, but I kept getting more questions. I have a feeling we are dealing with people who don't know how to interpurt the SEMA language. I do know if it doesen't get entered we can't submit again until next year.

My message above IS the email from Claire that I opened this morning at work. She seemed to have needed more 'language' to submit the bill.

[RENEW1]

I specifically asked Claire to call me or email me if the bill did not get entered. By the last message she sent me, she had submitted it. Something isn't right about this! I don't know what to believe now. That's it for me!!
Good luck everybody.

Jay, from your posting # 147:

The contact I have for SEMA, who you may want to speak with for guidance on the process is:

I interpreted the above with an e-mail address of:

jason@sema.org

Received an error message: invalid e-mail address , any others ?

[convincor]

Isn't it effecting only composites registered after Jan. 1, 2007?
Existing registered composites don't change.?

[ZOERA-SC7XX]

I think maybe the manufacturers who have sold or want to sell their cars in CT. should get involved. All I get from Peter is "don't worry"

Received email from Claire today. The bill was submitted. She said look for it this week when a number should be assigned. Can't get anybody too fired up until that number appears. I'll be much happier if that happens.
