Bill > HB3306

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to change the schedule for vehicle emissions testing. Under the current law, vehicles are required to be inspected every 2 years starting in the second or fourth calendar year after the vehicle's model year. The proposed bill modifies this requirement so that vehicles will now be inspected every 2 years beginning in the fifth, seventh, or later calendar year after the vehicle model year. The change is designed to potentially reduce the burden on vehicle owners by delaying the first required emissions test. The bill maintains other existing provisions of the law, such as exemptions for certain types of vehicles (like motorcycles, farm vehicles, antique vehicles, and electric vehicles) and allows for some flexibility in inspection scheduling, such as when a vehicle is acquired by a new owner. The goal of the bill appears to be to balance emission testing requirements with vehicle owner convenience while still maintaining environmental standards for vehicle emissions.
