it will never pass. there will be such a huge market for cars with disconnected odometers, it will be chaos.
You keep on believing that.
When it's here, and the pump can't connect to your odometer ... you don't get gas!
Then what?
This is California, which may have no rival for the truly Marxist tilt of our legislature. It will pass if the Dims up in Sacramento want it to pass. The question would be whether or not Schwarzzenegger would sign the bill.
However, even if he vetos it, the Dims never give up on such schemes. Eventually there will be another Dim governor and the legislature will pass the bill again.
