Texas "Clunker bill"

Texas quietly passed a form of a Clunker bill. I am trying to get specifics together so that I can get some grass roots type activity against it. This is what I know. It must be a pre '96 vehicle (non OBD2) and you get $2000 credit toward the purchase of a new vehicle, or $3000 for a hybrid. I dont think it has to fail the emissions test to qualify. I havent heard that any new vehicles are restricted, so someone could trade their 92 toyota celica for a discount on a new Hummer! The best part is our tax dollars are paying for it. As I said this has been quietly done. I have only heard one deealership trying to cash in on it, and that went away quickly. It was originally reported on a local talk radio station and I called them to confirm the story. I cannot find any explicit info on it yet such as a bill number but when I do I will pass it along. If you have any info please contact me at chrisg@netportusa.com or at (469)525-1051
