What is the newest law about smogging vehicles? what year is the cutoff?

Which State? Every one has different laws.

Here's California's : from http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm#BM2536

Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?
Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:

•Hybrid
•Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older
•Diesel powered manufactured prior to 1998 or with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs

Do you have a link on the historic vehicle smog exemption? I couldn't find it on the site.

no, I don't have the link. there is a member here that has all of his Fiats registered that way to avoid smog checks

Thanks. I'm definitely going to have to check that out. I'd love to find a way to stop those ridiculous smog checks on a car this old for which replacement components (carb, thermal valves, etc.). I rarely drive the car and it seems crazy to go through the motions for a car that is driven about 750 miles per year.
