Legislation (S.B. 2090) in the New Jersey State Legislature to extend the emissions inspection exemption to vehicles 5 model years old or newer has been sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law.  Current law exempts vehicles that are 4 model years old or newer.

We Urge You to Contact New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (Contact Information Below) Immediately to Request His Support for S.B. 2090

    * S.B. 2090 acknowledges the relatively minimal environmental impact of the vehicles targeted for this exemption.

    * S.B. 2090 acknowledges that it is senseless to test newer vehicles, the results of which 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.  
 
    * New Jersey already exempts historic (at least 25 years old) and collector (driven no more than 3,000 miles per year and insured for limited use) vehicles from emissions testing.  The logic for this trend is clear; such vehicles do not contribute in significant ways to air quality problems.  This logic applies equally to newer cars.  

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact New Jersey Governor Chris Christie immediately to urge his support for S.B. 2090
