I can't imagine this being a good thing. A past article quoted somebody as basically saying people would be trusted to use their best judgment to keep their vehicles in a safe operating condition.

This doesn't even help low-income folks because the fee isn't going away, the name is just changing.

Honestly I don't see any upside to this personally. I live in county that still requires emissions inspection so I'm not "saving time". I'm still going to have to pay the fee it just got moved and renamed + .50. Cars that may have been found with issues will no longer be.
