Summary

The legislation changes Pennsylvania’s vehicle inspection rules by giving brand‑new model‑year cars a five‑year exemption from emissions testing, and by eliminating the gas‑cap test for vehicles built without a cap. It also tells the Department of Environmental Protection to start removing specific counties from the enhanced emission‑inspection program and bars state funds from being used for that program unless a revised implementation plan is approved.
