Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.

The Assembly Appropriations Committee on Friday blocked Bakersfield Republican Sen. Shannon Grove’s Senate Bill 712 from advancing for a full vote. Leno had testified in support of the measure in Sacramento earlier this year.

Early on in a car's life its isn't yearly, but at one point in my last car's 20 year life it became yearly and never went back. I think its age related.

    That make sense, I'm just used to ours way that I didn't question other possibilites.

    E.g. here brand new cars get their first registration (for a duration of 1 year) and after few hundred kilometers they have they 0th car service at authorised service station. Then on yearly basis cars need to go for car service (practice is: one year small, then next year large servicing) then vehicle inspection at inspection station where, if car passes minimal safety standards, you extend registration for another year.
