| This bill prohibits a person from registering a new vehicle |
| unless the person proves to the Secretary of State that the |
| vehicle is certified to meet California-emission certified |
| standards. If the person cannot provide the proof, that person |
| cannot register the vehicle. Without registration denial as an |
| enforcement mechanism, nothing prevents a resident from |
| purchasing outside the State a vehicle that does not comply with |
| the low-emission vehicle program described in the Maine Revised |
| States, Title 38, section 585-D and registering the vehicle in |
| Maine. |
