does anyone know if the rumors i have heard are true. ive been told late this year in MA that vehicles either 95 or 95 and before will not have to pass emisions. just wondering if there is anyone who knows and if they know when?
-
Not yet. Mass is still doing full inspections along with emissions
-
i know for know, but i heard at sometime at the end of this year that will go into action.

I don't see why mass would phase themselves out of the HUGE govenrment $$ paybacks they get for highway use by opting themselves out of the emissions program.

Something similar is coming up in the 'attainment area' in southeast Wisconsin, post '96 OBD II engine systems can be plugged into a glorified laptop and given a pass/fail, pre '96 stuff requires dynamometer time and exhaust sniffers and trained people to operate the stuff :P
It seems to come down to money, and the pre-'96 vehicle population up here in Rust Heaven is falling fast enough they think they can still make emissions-numbers good enough to keep the EPA off their back :-\
