Cal: AB 619 Vehicle Registration Amnesty

[marcalan]

I was under the impression that once the vehicle was registered in any state, it could be registered in any state. Doesn't federal law for interstate commerec (or something like that) come into effect. Isn't this why California had to repay all the california emission penalties in the late 90's that was imposed on vehicles brought in from other states?

We are comparing apples and oranges. These are all different issues.

We have to treat neighbors who are moving to California just like we treat someone in California. In turn, if you are coming to live in California, you are held to the same rules that apply to all Californians.

On the federal side, do some research. You will find that there is very little regulation on kit cars. If you want federal regulation, your kit car producers will be vehicle manufactures, which gives you the VIN number, safety requirements (airbags / bumpers) and a whole lot of other requirements. None of which these cars will pass.

I know of no kit car that receives a VIN number. Which is why under the SPCN program CHP "blue tags" them to give them a VIN number.

Note: A frame number from the manufacture is not a VIN number.
