Smog Check Extension Legislation to be Voted on TOMORROW
AB 1274, legislation that would extend the exemption for performing vehicle smog check inspection from 6 to 8 years, is scheduled to be heard in the State Senate TOMORROW. AB 1274 is anti-consumer; anti-environment; anti-worker and anti-small business, and we need your help to stop it.
CALL TO ACTION: Please call and email members of the State Senate TODAY and urge them to vote 'NO' on AB 1274. For a Senate roster along with their contact information, visit senate.ca.gov/senators.
ASCCA September Team Weekend Recap
This weekend, over 50 ASCCA leaders, members, and corporate partners met in sunny Southern California for their September Team Weekend.
Dave Kusa kicked off the meeting with a new tradition - welcoming new ASCCA members to Team Weekend for an induction ceremony. Since January 1, ASCCA has gained 44 new members, and new member Dave Rogers of SC Fuels was present to receive his induction.
We just finished a huge bonus point opportunity last week, and SoCal used it to earn some major points! They sent in entries right up to the cutoff.
Don't forget about the ongoing bonus point opportunity of sending in a second entry with a different insert from your first entry. That is worth another point until October 31
st.
The score is 100 SoCal to 60 NorCal as of Monday September 11.
Contact Ryan at rking@amgroup.us with all entries and questions.
Here we have a bonus entry for SoCal from Rover Doctor in Irvine.
