HB2545 is a bill that proposes an amendment to Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 5 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding Section 49-559, which relates to air quality. The bill aims to exempt vehicles manufactured in or after the 2018 model year from the Annual Emissions Inspection Program that is currently required for vehicle registration renewal in certain areas of Arizona.

The current law requires that every motor vehicle in Arizona within designated areas must pass a vehicle emissions inspection within 90 days of the expiration of vehicle registration. This bill, if enacted, would update the law to exclude newer vehicles, specifically those from the 2018 model year onwards, from this requirement. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
