New Jersey § 39:8-53

§ 39:8-53.

a. The director shall adopt, after consultation with the Division of Consumer Affairs

in the Department of Law and Public Safety, rules and regulations for the registration

of facilities authorized to perform emission-related repairs on vehicles that fail

a required emission test. A facility or business shall not correct, adjust or repair, for compensation, any

motor vehicle that has failed an emission test required by the director unless it

has first obtained from the director a motor vehicle repair facility registration

authorizing the facility or business to repair vehicles that have failed an emission

test required by the director. The director may establish an annual registration fee, which shall not exceed $50,

to defray the cost of registering these businesses and facilities. All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be paid to the State Treasurer

and deposited in the “Motor Vehicle Inspection Fund” established pursuant to subsection

j. of R.S. 39:8-2 . b. The director may deny, suspend or revoke any registration issued pursuant to this

section, or refuse renewal thereof, for performance by a registered business or facility

of an improper repair on a motor vehicle or for other good cause. c. The director may establish or approve a repair technician certification program

for persons who perform, for compensation, emission-related repairs on vehicles that

fail a required emission test. d. The Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Environmental

Protection, shall develop and make available a course of instruction, to be offered

at State community colleges and other appropriate educational institutions, for the

purpose of training repair technicians in the diagnosis and repair of motor vehicle

emission control systems.
