Cali planning carb tests for Class A

You have obviously not watched as California has ignored numerous federal statures over the recent years. This is standard practice there and they work it up to the constitutional level.

It's different from the CARB rules of the past. Those are sketchy but apply to vehicles sold in California, so they mostly skirt the interstate rules.

The impact in the rest of the country is at least theoretically, not directly attributable to California. Some other states have simply adopted CARB rules and with a high enough percentage of vehicles sold, many requirements simply get adopted by manufacturers as standard...but it's not a hard mandate from California limiting interstate commerce.

Again, this is all sketchy but it at least has a veneer of not directly impacting interstate commerce.

This rule is different as it would apply directly to interstate commerce including vehicle, not sold, registered or driven by Californians... if they include the out of state vehicle testing.

PS: Federal control of interstate commerce isn't limited to commercial trucks. Pretty much any travel across the state line is interstate commerce.
