Charlie Peters, Clean Air Performance Professionals, drew attention to California SB 94 which has delayed processing of DMV renewal notices until July 1, 2011. Renewal notices must be paid within 30 days of issue. Not only is the smog check industry likely to be impacted by the backlog of vehicles, an estimated 25 percent of smog check businesses are suffering from the enforced downturn created by SB 94.
