SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Three brands of hybrid-electric vehicles no longer require smog checks every two years or when they change owners.
The state's Department of Consumer Affairs says it's exempting all model years of the Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius.
Hybrid-electric cars use both an electric motor and internal combustion engine.
State officials say it's a way of encouraging more environmentally friendly vehicles.
