California Bird Owners - smog changes

The ACT rule applies to model year 2024 and later chassis. The rule has no effect on motorhomes that have already been legally produced and delivered to California.


6. If a consumer buys an RV from another state that does not comply with ACT, will the consumer be able to register the RV in California?
In the amendments adopted in October 2024, CARB adopted new vehicle labeling and reporting requirements that will help regulators in California ensure that new vehicles registered in California are compliant with the ACT regulation. The amendments take effect with the 2025 model year. In response to a question at the hearing about non-compliant vehicles coming in from out of state, CARB said that a used vehicle, defined as one with more than 7,500 miles on the odometer, could be brought in and registered. Any motorhome with less than 7,500 miles would be considered a new vehicle and would have to be compliant in order to be registered.

So...the way I read this is. And please correct me if I'm wrong... In the future, If I have a "new to me" 2025 or newer class A coach that I purchased in say .... Kansas. As long as it has 7500 or more miles on it I can legally register it in those CARB states??? Shesh!! how confusing
Now you run the risk of dealers running the odometer forward adding miles to the vehicle instead of turning the miles back!

SOP for CARB regs here. You’ll get used to it. (Mentioned the same “loophole” being used for diesel cars, tdi’s around 2008-2012 in particular, randomly.)
