Bill > SB106

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 governed this program, including definitions of terms like "emissions control program," "emissions standard," and "misfueling," as well as provisions for establishing the program, granting waivers, setting inspection facilities, and determining inspection fees. The repeal of these provisions means that the mandatory biennial emissions testing and inspections will no longer be required for vehicles registered in the state, with the changes taking effect on October 1, 2026.
