1 SENATE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, There have been numerous occasions in which
3 Illinois citizens have had their motor vehicles damaged as a
4 result of mandated vehicle emission inspections required by
5 the Environmental Protection Agency; and
6 WHEREAS, Vehicle emission testing programs have been
7 implemented in other states that are designed to be safer for
8 the vehicle and avoid damage during the emission inspection
9 process; and
10 WHEREAS, When a person has his or her vehicle damaged
11 during an emission inspection, the person should be informed
12 as to his or her rights and compensated for the damages; and
13 therefore be it
14 RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FIRST GENERAL
15 ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the Governor
16 and the Environmental Protection Agency to examine whether or
17 not a more user friendly and proven vehicle emission test,
18 similar to the tests performed in other states, can be
19 implemented in this State; and be it further
20 RESOLVED, That we urge the Governor and the Environmental
21 Protection Agency to establish a system that would better
22 inform persons who have had their vehicles damaged during an
23 emission test, and a system whereby if a complaint for
24 damages during an emission inspection is filed, the complaint
25 is investigated by a neutral party; and be it further
26 RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be delivered to
27 the Governor and the Director of the Environmental Protection
28 Agency.
