MOTOR VEHICLES -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding exemptions from a vehicle inspection and maintenance program.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
All passenger and light truck motor vehicles from 2007 forward are equipped with an onboard diagnostic computer system that checks vehicle emissions and other critical parameters of vehicle operations. The emissions testing application of the onboard computer uses the same ISO standards that emissions testing machines now use for testing in both Ada and Canyon counties. Data shows that emissions testing failures have been significantly reduced on vehicles model year 2007 forward. This bill amends Idaho Code § 39-116B to change the exemption from testing from vehicles that are 5 years old to vehicles of model year 2007 and newer.
LATEST ACTION
