Sec. 14-100b. Air pollution control devices required on certain passenger motor vehicles. On and after January 1, 1968, no passenger motor vehicle designated as
a 1968 or later model shall be registered in this state unless equipped with an effective
air pollution control device. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection, with the
advice of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, may make regulations establishing
standards for such devices, which standards shall be consistent with provisions of federal
law, if any, relating to control of emissions from the vehicles concerned. The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall not require, as a condition precedent to the initial sale
of a vehicle or vehicular equipment, the inspection, certification or other approval of
any feature or equipment designed for the control of emissions from motor vehicles if
such feature or equipment has been certified, approved or otherwise authorized pursuant
to federal law.
(1967, P.A. 676; 1971, P.A. 872, S. 29.)
History: 1971 act made environmental protection commissioner rather than commissioner of motor vehicles responsible
for regulations but kept commissioner of motor vehicles as advisor.
