Heard this rumor for at least the last six months. A customer was in last week and confirmed. Should be done in June with an official announcement.

Cheers

"On March 22, 2022, Governor Little signed Senate Bill 1254, which repeals the emission testing requirement in Idaho Code Section 39-116B. Per the text of the bill, the action becomes effective July 1, 2023.

Currently, the Ada County emission testing program remains in place and vehicle owners are required to test. AQB will continue to send notices to vehicle owners to remind them of the test requirement. Non-compliance with the testing requirement by the deadline date will result in vehicle registration revocation.

As the text of the bill explains, Ada County’s emission testing program began in 1984, due to violations of the carbon monoxide (CO) ambient air quality standard. The program is implemented under local ordinances through the Air Quality Board, as a control measure in the CO state implementation plan (SIP) to reduce pollution. The SIP was approved by EPA and is currently federally enforceable.

The Department of Environment Quality (DEQ) submitted a SIP revision to EPA at the end of 2022 showing that ending emission testing will not affect our area’s ability to maintain compliance with the national ambient air quality standards. If EPA approves that plan, the federal requirement for emission testing will be removed. Local jurisdictions in Ada County would then decide whether to continue to require emission testing under the existing local ordinances, or repeal those ordinances and end their emission testing requirements.

Emission testing is required in Ada County at least through June 30, 2023, and may continue beyond that date, depending on the federal and local actions described above."

Right, he has a v8 in his 80 and DMV literally told him to wait to register it until after June.
