CALL TO ACTION: Smog Check Extension Legislation Awaiting Governor Brown's Decision

AB 1274, legislation that would extend the exemption for performing vehicle smog check inspection from 6 to 8 years has passed the Legislature, and is now sitting on Governor Brown's desk. 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 send a message to Governor Brown's office online here, and urge him to VETO AB 1274. Make sure to select AB 1274 from the drop-down menu.

ASCCA Launches New Membership Liaison Program

ASCCA is proud to officially announce the launch of its 2017 Membership Liaison Program. This door-to-door membership recruitment program was proposed by ASCCA's Membership Committee, and approved by the Board of Directors earlier this year.

In addition to supporting the Membership Committee's 2017 100-Plus goal of recruiting 100 new members, the purpose of this new endeavor is to gain and retain new members by cultivating relationships by emphasizing ASCCA membership value, advocacy efforts, and to provide business resources.

All potential Liaisons must meet certain minimum requirements, and fill out an online application and survey form. For compensation details, as well as information on who is eligible to become an ASCCA Liaison, please click here.
