Bill > SB562

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Vehicle Code to require the Department of Environmental Protection to initiate the process of removing certain counties from the state's enhanced vehicle emission inspection and maintenance program within 60 days. The bill also requires the department to submit a revised State Implementation Plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by January 1, 2024, demonstrating that these counties can maintain air quality standards without the emission reduction benefits of the vehicle inspection program. The bill ensures the department complies with federal law during this revision process and notifies relevant legislative committees of the plan's submission and subsequent approval by the EPA.
