HB 1742 -- Vehicle Emissions Testing

Co-Sponsors:  May (108), O'Toole

This bill adds a voluntary remote sensing clean screen testing
program to the BAR-90 and enhanced vehicle emissions testing
programs in the St. Louis metropolitan area if remote sensing is
allowed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with no more
than a 5% decrease in air pollution reduction credits.

The clean screen program will be operated by one or more
licensees.  If remote sensing determines that a vehicle subject
to emissions testing is in compliance, the clean screen operator
notifies the vehicle owner by mail and issues an emission
compliance certificate if the owner chooses to pay a clean
screen fee.  The fee cannot exceed the $24 maximum fee allowed
for regular emission testing.
