For our California friends, this is the Connectocut analysis of the impact
of eliminating testing on automobiles more than 25 years old. Note that it
has a POSITIVE impact here, since the state pays more for testing than it
costs us.

EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES:
STATE IMPACT: Approximately 11,000 vehicles that fall
in the antique, rare or special interest category
undergo emissions testing annually. The revenue yield
from these vehicles is $110,000 annually ($10 per
vehicle). However, payment to Envirotest (the emissions
contractor) is $154,000 annually ($14 per vehicle).
Therefore, by exempting these vehicles from emissions
inspections, an annual savings of $44,000 to the
Emissions Enterprise Fund would be realized. (The
savings in FY 1997 assumes that the exemption will
commence in May, 1997).
