Pennsylvania Introduces Bill to Extend Emissions Inspection Waiver For Newer Cars

Legislation (S.B. 353) has been introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature to extend the emissions inspection exemption for 5 years after the model year. Current law only exempts new vehicles that have less than 5,000 miles on their odometer for one year after their first registration.
We Urge You to Contact Pennsylvania Senate Transportation Committee Members (Contact InformationBelow) Immediately to Request Support for S.B. 353

S.B. 353 acknowledges the relatively minimal environmental impact of the new vehicles targeted for this exemption.

S.B. 353 acknowledges that it is senseless to test newer vehicles, the results of which demonstrate no significant air quality benefits. The idea behind exempting any class of vehicles is to reduce costs while not losing appreciable emission reductions. This strategy builds support for emission inspection programs, but also directs finite resources to where they will be most valuable in cleaning the air.

Pennsylvania already exempts pre-1975 vehicles from emissions testing. The logic for this trend is clear; such vehicles do not contribute in significant ways to air quality problems. This logic applies equally to newer cars.

DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Pennsylvania Senate Transportation Committee immediately to request their support for S.B. 353.

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
