Why 3/5: It modifies the conditions under which vehicles can receive waivers for emissions inspections, potentially impacting air quality.
This bill allows vehicles to receive an emissions inspection waiver if their onboard diagnostic system is not ready for re-testing after an initial failure, potentially allowing some higher-emitting vehicles to avoid full compliance. This change could reduce the effectiveness of Virginia's vehicle emissions inspection program in improving air quality.
