The inspection requirement would apply to those vehicles registered in an area that is required to undergo a vehicle emissions inspection under Subchapter F, Chapter 548, Transportation Code. The bill would take effect January 1, 2002. Methodology Each vehicle emissions sticker sold generates $5.50 to the State. It is estimated that 5,908 attend college in designated emission counties that would be affected by the passage of this bill. The total revenue generated by the passage of this bill would be $32,494. The revenue is split with $2 of that fee being deposited into the Clean Air Account, number 151 and $3.50 being deposited into the General Revenue Fund. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies: 405 Texas Department of Public Safety LBB Staff: JK, CL, CT, JC, DG
