Bills eliminating emissions testing come with a cost

Legislation to eliminate emissions testing in Maryland would put the state in violation of federal law and at risk of losing tens of millions of dollars, WBAL-TV 11 News Investigates has learned. While a growing number of people wonder why emissions testing is necessary with current clean vehicle technology, the American Lung Association says Maryland is struggling with declining air quality. Environmentalists cite automotive tailpipe emissions as the single largest source of the problem. But harmful emissions from late-model and hybrid-electric vehicles are now virtually nonexistent. Data from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration indicates more than 90% of cars, sport-utility vehicles and trucks pass the $30 biannual state emissions test.
