17 The Agency shall send notice of the assigned
18 inspection month, at least 15 days before the beginning of
19 the assigned month, to the owner of each vehicle subject
20 to the program. An initial emission inspection sticker or
21 initial inspection certificate, as the case may be,
22 expires on the last day of the third month following the
23 month assigned by the Agency for the first inspection of
24 the vehicle. A renewal inspection sticker or certificate

1 month assigned for inspection in the year in which the
2 vehicle's next inspection is required.
3 The Agency or its agent may issue an interim emission
4 inspection sticker or certificate for any vehicle subject
5 to inspection that does not have a currently valid
6 emission inspection sticker or certificate at the time the
7 Agency is notified by the Secretary of State of its
8 registration by a new owner, and for which an initial
9 emission inspection sticker or certificate has already
10 been issued. An interim emission inspection sticker or
11 certificate expires no later than the last day of the
12 sixth complete calendar month after the date the Agency
13 issued the interim emission inspection sticker or
14 certificate.
15 The owner of each vehicle subject to inspection shall
16 obtain an emission inspection sticker or certificate for
17 the vehicle in accordance with this paragraph (1). Before
18 the expiration of the emission inspection sticker or
19 certificate, the owner shall have the vehicle inspected
20 and, upon demonstration of compliance, obtain a renewal
21 emission inspection sticker or certificate. A renewal
22 emission inspection sticker or certificate shall not be
23 issued more than 5 months before the expiration date of
24 the previous inspection sticker or certificate.
25 (2) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3), vehicles
26 shall be inspected every 2 years on a schedule that begins

3 be set by the Agency and shall be consistent with the
4 State's requirements for emission reductions as determined
5 by the applicable United States Environmental Protection
6 Agency vehicle emissions estimation model and applicable
7 guidance and rules.
8 (3) A vehicle may be inspected at a time outside of its
9 normal 2-year inspection schedule, if (i) the vehicle was
10 acquired by a new owner and (ii) the vehicle was required
11 to be in compliance with this Act at the time the vehicle
12 was acquired by the new owner, but it was not then in
13 compliance.
14 (4) The owner of a vehicle subject to inspection shall
15 have the vehicle inspected and shall obtain and display on
16 the vehicle or carry within the vehicle, in a manner
17 specified by the Agency, a valid unexpired emission
18 inspection sticker or certificate in the manner specified
19 by the Agency. A person who violates this paragraph (4) is
20 guilty of a petty offense, except that a third or
21 subsequent violation within one year of the first
22 violation is a Class C misdemeanor. The fine imposed for a
23 violation of this paragraph (4) shall be not less than $50
24 if the violation occurred within 60 days following the
25 date by which a new or renewal emission inspection sticker
26 or certificate was required to be obtained for the
