C.__A vehicle that was transferred to a resident by court decree;

D.__A vehicle that was originally registered to a person while that person was a resident of another state and that person is now a resident of this State;

SUMMARY

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.
