Emmissions by state

OK guys, what states have most of the emmissions checks? I travel (pull a 5th wheel) and was just wondering?

I've never been stopped before but I just bought the www.egrdeletekit.com and plan on gettting it installed.

I mostly travel in Ohio, but I do go out of stated with the camper.

Thanks for the info.

You are concerned about getting stopped and having an LEO do an emissions check on your vehicle as you are traveling through the state?

Ohio does emission checks based on what county in Ohio your vehicle is registered, and they dont stop you to do them. You have them done when you get your tags.

California does smog based on which county you live in also.

Not worried about LE, just id they do checks along the highway. Never seen it, but was asking if anyone has.

It doesn't matter where you travel. You have to meet the emission testing requirements in the state (and possibly county) where the vehicle is registered.

Asking for info - not saying you are wrong

In FL there is no Vehicle inspection at all.
So, if an old gas vehicle that burns a lot of oil and
has tons of blue smoke (I see a few every week here) drives to California, are you saying the LEO in CA can't
give a ticket for this? (not thinking "antique" either)

What are they going to ticket them for? The vehicle is not registered in California so CA has no business with that.

I suspect that any state may have an "excessive pollution" law that might cover something like what you describe. But I don't know for sure.

I live in Oregon and we have no inspection requirements in my county. If I were driving in CA, an officer would have no right to pull me over and expect me to pass a CA vehicle emissions inspection. That's what I was trying to get at.

Pennsylvania will pull over lifted trucks from out of state, if your smoking bad, they could pull you over.

Apparently NY can inspect diesel vehicles from any state with GVWR over 8500 lbs.
Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicle Inspection/Maintenance Program - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Though I've never seen it.

In CA. they can do one of two things to you. one is pull you over if you are a gross polluter and give you a fix- it ticket. or send you a warning in the mail to get it repaired. as far as vechicles from other states the only thing they will od is check your tags if they are out of date and may give you a ticket for that, other wise they will leave you alone.
