go
It is found and declared that exhaust emissions from Motor Vehicles are
a major source of air pollution throughout Ada County and such air
pollution is a health hazard to all residents of the County and its
incorporated cities;

F°
It is further found and declared that an effective system of periodic
motor vehicle inspection and maintenance will reduce the level of
vehicular-based air pollution;
It is further found and declared that the federal government has
mandated to the several states and local entities the ultimate
responsibility for periodic motor vehicle inspection and maintenance;
It is further found and declared that Ada County has been designated as
a non-attainment area for both carbon monoxide and small particulate
matter (PMm) and such is mandated under the Federal Clean Air Act to
reduce emissions so that the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
will be attained and maintained;
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated
cities will be monitored for PM2.5 and ozone in the immediate future,
and that the primary source of both of these pollutants in Ada County
is exhaust emissions from motor vehicles.
It is further found and declared that fuel economy is a legitimate
legislative purpose and that an efficient emissions control program will
result in motor vehicle fuel savings for the residents of Ada County and
its incorporated cities;
Go
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated
cities are duly authorized to enact and enforce this Ordinance under
Idaho Code §31-714 and §50-302, respectively;
The purposes of this Ordinance, therefore, are to protect the health and
welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Meridian, to provide for the continued
control and management of exhaust emissions above certain levels as
determined by the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, as well as Rules for the
Control of Air Pollution in the State of Idaho (IDAPA 16.01.01, et seq), and
to empower the Air Quality Board to design and implement required periodic
inspection of certain motor vehicles.

Certificate of Compliance to be issued without further repair,
adjustment or testing.
Non-Exempt Motor Vehicles of the Model Year 1984 and newer

system, fuel restrictor and any other component(s), devices or
systems specified by the Board in the Rules and Regulations. The
Owner of a Non-Exempt Motor Vehicle is required to see that
these systems are fully operational. An Exhaust Emissions
Inspection will not be performed on any vehicle on which one or
more of these components have been subject to Tampering. The
Owner of any Non-Exempt Motor Vehicle which has been subject
to Tampering must bring all components into compliance and
have the vehicle inspected within the Inspection Period.
A Certificate of Compliance may be issued by an Emissions
Inspection Mechanic who personally has performed an Exhaust
Emissions Inspection and found the Non-Exempt Motor Vehicle
to be in full compliance with the Automotive Inspection Program
or by an Emissions Repair Mechanic who has personally
1999 Motor Vehicle Emissions Control Ordinance - 15
performed repairs and adjustments to a motor vehicle which bring
such vehicle into full compliance with the Automotive Inspection
Program or by the Board.
No person shall represent himself or herself as an Emissions
Inspection Mechanic unless he or she has a current license issued
by the Board or is operating under a current contract with the
Board.
No person shall demand or collect a fee for the Exhaust Emissions
Inspection of a Non-Exempt Motor Vehicle unless authorized by
this Ordinance.
