2019 - 2020 LEGISLATURE

2019 Senate BILL 768

January 30, 2020 - Introduced by Senator LeMahieu, cosponsored by Representative Magnafici. Referred to Committee on Transportation, Veterans and Military Affairs.

SB768,1,2 An Act to amend 285.30 (5) (c); and to create 285.30 (5) (m) of the statutes; relating to: exempting autocycles from emission inspections.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Transportation to conduct a motor vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program in counties in which the air quality does not meet certain federal standards. Under the program, most motor vehicles that are subject to emissions limitations established by the Department of Natural Resources must pass periodic emissions inspections and may not be registered by DOT unless they have passed these inspections. Certain motor vehicles are exempt from emissions inspections, including mopeds, motorcycles, and off-road utility vehicles. This bill exempts autocycles from emissions inspections.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
