SB 210 is a bill that would create the first smog check program for commercial motor vehicles. The bill was introduced last year and CTA was able to kill it because of their powerful influence in the Sacramento Capitol. When the bill was re-introduced this year, CTA was opposed to the bill unless the author took CTA's amendments, which would remove the burdensome nature of the bill and create a level playing field for CTA members. The San Francisco Chronicle recently featured an editorial on the bill and highlighted CTA as one of the well connected opposition. Because of CTA's connections and continual negotiations with the author, the bill now includes CTA's amended language. The amended language in the bill is a major win for CTA members and illustrates CTA's strong presence in the Capitol.
