Bill > SB200

This bill exempts certain farm vehicles from emissions inspection requirements by modifying existing Missouri state law. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that excludes motor vehicles over ten years old that are registered as local commercial motor vehicles used for farm or farming transportation operations from mandatory emissions inspections. These vehicles, which are defined under section 301.010 or meet federal definitions of "covered farm vehicles," will no longer need to undergo the standard emissions testing process. The bill maintains existing exemptions for other vehicle types, such as those with a gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds, motorcycles, vehicles manufactured before 1996, electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles, and historic motor vehicles. By creating this exemption, the bill aims to reduce regulatory burden on farmers and agricultural businesses by removing the requirement for older farm vehicles to complete periodic emissions inspections, potentially lowering costs and administrative complexity for agricultural operators.
