For the first time in more than two decades, Coloradans will likely see an increase in the fee they pay to receive vehicle emissions tests. Right now, the state’s testing fee is $25 for vehicles made in 1982 and after, or $15 for vehicles made in or before 1981. Under Senate Bill 25-321 the fee caps could increase. State legislators passed the bill on May 7, sending it to Governor Jared Polis for final approval. Supporters say the fee increase is necessary to create more testing stations, expand roadside remote testing, establish self-testing kiosks and increase wages for employees at the testing facilities. “Some sit in line for two or three hours to get their car tested. ...I can guarantee you, if we don’t get a fee increase, we will not reduce wait times,” Jim Brandon of Air Care Colorado told lawmakers during an April 30 committee. He named Parker and Adams County as areas particularly in need of more testing stations. See what the fees would increase to by heading to the link...
