On June 12, 2024, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will consider proposal of the executive director’s recommended Vehicle I/M SIP Revision. The proposed SIP revision would implement HB 3297, which eliminates the mandatory annual vehicle safety inspection program for noncommercial vehicles and SB 2102, which extends the initial registration and inspection period for rental vehicles from two years to three years.
The proposed SIP revision would also incorporate the executive director’s recommended 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 114, Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles rulemaking which would implement HB 3297 and SB 2102, and adjust the maximum fee that inspection stations are allowed to charge for an emissions inspection.
