What must a certified inspector perform if an emissions sticker expires in less than 90 days from the date of the safety inspection?

A certified inspector must perform both a safety and emissions inspection when the emissions sticker is expired or will expire in less than 90 days from the date of the safety inspection. This requirement ensures that vehicles remain compliant with state emissions regulations and safety standards, preventing potentially harmful emissions from being released into the environment. By conducting both inspections simultaneously, the inspector can address any potential safety issues while also ensuring that the vehicle meets emissions criteria. This dual process also streamlines the inspection process for vehicle owners, reducing the need for multiple trips for separate inspections.
