Bill > HB183

This bill repeals the existing Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program in Maryland, effectively eliminating the requirement for most vehicles to undergo exhaust emissions tests and emissions equipment and misfueling inspections. The bill removes all sections of the transportation article that established and detailed this program, including definitions of terms like "emissions control program," "emissions standard," and "misfueling," as well as provisions for establishing inspection facilities, setting fees, granting waivers, and outlining various exemptions for specific vehicle types. The repeal of these provisions means that the state will no longer mandate these inspections for vehicles, and the associated administrative and regulatory framework will be dismantled.
