|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing |
| 5 |
| Section 13C-25 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (625 ILCS 5/13C-25) |
| 7 |
| Sec. 13C-25. Performance of inspections. |
| 8 |
| (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the inspection of |
| 9 |
| vehicles required under this Chapter shall be performed only: |
| 10 |
| (i) by inspectors who have been certified by the Agency after |
| 11 |
| successfully completing a course of training and successfully |
| 12 |
| passing a written test; (ii) at official inspection stations, |
| 13 |
| including on-road inspection sites established under this |
| 14 |
| Chapter; and (iii) with equipment that has been approved by the |
| 15 |
| Agency for these inspections. |
| 16 |
| (b) The requirements of subdivisions (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of |
| 17 |
| this Section do not preclude the performance of inspections (1) |
| 18 |
| at self-service official inspection stations, (2) using |
| 19 |
| Agency-approved wireless communication interfaces, and (3) |
| 20 |
| using systems designed to perform remote on-board diagnostic |
| 21 |
| inspections. |
| 22 |
| (c) Except as provided in subsections
subsection (d) and |
| 23 |
| (d-5), the inspection shall consist of an on-board diagnostic |

| system test. The owner of the vehicle or the owner's agent |
| 2 |
| shall be entitled to an emission inspection certificate issued |
| 3 |
| by the Agency only if all required tests are passed at the time |
| 4 |
| of the inspection. |
| 5 |
| (d) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis and the |
| 6 |
| evaporative system integrity test may be substituted for the |
| 7 |
| on-board diagnostic system test in the following cases: |
| 8 |
| (1) On any heavy duty vehicle with a manufacturer gross |
| 9 |
| vehicle weight rating in excess of 8,500 pounds not |
| 10 |
| equipped at the time of manufacture with an on-board |
| 11 |
| diagnostic system meeting federal OBD-II specifications. |
| 12 |
| (2) On any vehicle for which on-board diagnostic |
| 13 |
| testing is not possible due to the vehicle's originally |
| 14 |
| certified design or its design as modified in accordance |
| 15 |
| with federal law and regulations, and on any vehicle with |
| 16 |
| known on-board diagnostic communications or software |
| 17 |
| problems, as determined by the Agency. |
| 18 |
| (d-5) A steady-state idle exhaust gas analysis and the |
| 19 |
| evaporative system integrity test shall be substituted for the |
| 20 |
| on-board diagnostic system test if the vehicle owner provides a |
| 21 |
| statement, signed by a recognized repair technician, |
| 22 |
| indicating that the vehicle's on-board diagnostic computer is |
| 23 |
| malfunctioning.
|
| 24 |
| (e) The exhaust gas analysis shall consist of a test of an |
| 25 |
| exhaust gas sample to determine whether the quantities of |
| 26 |
| exhaust gas pollutants emitted by the vehicle meet the |
|
|
|
HB3652 Engrossed |

| standards set for vehicles of that type under Section 13C-20. A |
| 2 |
| vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this portion of the |
| 3 |
| inspection if the evaluation of the exhaust gas sample |
| 4 |
| indicates that the quantities of exhaust gas pollutants emitted |
| 5 |
| by the vehicle do not exceed the standards set for vehicles of |
| 6 |
| that type under Section 13C-20 or an inspector certifies that |
| 7 |
| the vehicle qualifies for a waiver of the exhaust gas pollutant |
| 8 |
| standards under Section 13C-30. |
| 9 |
| (f) The evaporative system integrity test shall consist of |
| 10 |
| a procedure to determine if leaks exist in all or a portion of |
| 11 |
| the vehicle fuel evaporation emission control system. A vehicle |
| 12 |
| shall be deemed to have passed this test if it meets the |
| 13 |
| criteria that the Board may adopt for an evaporative system |
| 14 |
| integrity test. |
| 15 |
| (g) The on-board diagnostic system test shall consist of |
| 16 |
| accessing the vehicle's on-board computer system, determining |
| 17 |
| the vehicle's readiness status and malfunction indicator lamp |
| 18 |
| status, and retrieving any stored diagnostic codes that may be |
| 19 |
| present. The vehicle shall be deemed to have passed this test |
| 20 |
| if the vehicle readiness status indicates that the vehicle's |
| 21 |
| OBD system has completed all required system and component |
| 22 |
| checks, the malfunction indicator lamp status is appropriate, |
| 23 |
| and the diagnostic codes retrieved do not exceed standards set |
| 24 |
| for vehicles of that type under Section 13C-20.
