Legislation (H.B. 985) has been introduced in Pennsylvania to exempt from emissions inspections those vehicles registered in fifth class counties with a population of less than 116,500 residents. The bill would only impact vehicle owners in Lycoming County, as all other similarly populated counties are already exempt.
We Urge You to Contact House Transportation Committee Members (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for H.B. 985.
- H.B. 985 acknowledges the relatively minimal environmental impact of the county vehicles targeted for this exemption.
- H.B. 985 acknowledges that it is senseless to test vehicles when the results demonstrate no significant air quality benefits. The idea behind exempting any class of vehicles is to reduce costs while not losing appreciable emission reductions. This strategy builds support for emission inspection programs, but also directs finite resources to where they will be most valuable in cleaning the air.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the House Transportation Committee immediately to request their support for H.B. 985.
