New Jersey § 39:8-1

§ 39:8-1.

a. Every motor vehicle registered in this State which is used over any public road,

street, or highway or any public or quasi-public property in this State, and every

vehicle subject to enhanced inspection and maintenance programs pursuant to 40 C.F.R. s.51.356 , except motorcycles, historic motor vehicles registered as such, collector motor vehicles designated as

such pursuant to this subsection, and those vehicles over 8,500 pounds gross weight

that are under the inspection jurisdiction of the commission pursuant to Titles 27

and 48 of the Revised Statutes, shall be inspected by designated inspectors or at official

inspection facilities to be designated by the commission or at licensed private inspection

facilities. Passenger automobiles registered in accordance with R.S.39:3-4 or R.S.39:3-27 and noncommercial trucks registered in accordance with section 2 of P.L.1968, c.

439 ( C.39:3-8.1 ) or R.S.39:3-27 inspected pursuant to this section shall only be inspected for emissions and emission-related

items such as emission control equipment and on-board diagnostics. The commission shall adopt rules and regulations establishing a procedure for the

designation of motor vehicles as collector motor vehicles, which designation shall

include consideration by the commission of one or more of the following factors:

the age of the vehicle, the number of such vehicles originally manufactured, the number

of such vehicles that are currently in use, the total number of miles the vehicle

has been driven, the number of miles the vehicle has been driven during the previous

year or other period of time determined by the commission, and whether the vehicle

has a collector classification for insurance purposes. b. The commission shall determine the official inspection facility or private inspection

facility at which a motor vehicle, depending upon its characteristics, shall be inspected. The commission, with the concurrence of the Department of Environmental Protection,

may exclude by regulation from this inspection requirement any category of motor vehicle

if good cause for such exclusion exists, unless the exclusion is likely to prevent

this State from meeting the applicable performance standard established by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency. The commission may determine that a vehicle is in compliance with the inspection

requirements of this section if the vehicle has been inspected and passed under a

similar inspection program of another state, district, or territory of the United

States.
