Connecticut: Registration, Inspection & Emissions

[Don]

I did not receive a reply from the DMV Emissions Co-ordinator, but the following is posted on the Exempt screen for the CT Emissions Program, note the 4th item, looks like it really did happen !!

Exempt Vehicles

There are some exemptions to the program, particularly newer models, many older vehicles, motorcycles and other specialized vehicles:

* New vehicles that are four or less model years old (as of 1/1/07 model years, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008).
* A motor vehicle twenty five-years old or older, (as of 1/1/07, model years 1983 and older).

I was previously advised, forgot the source, the model year exemption had been changed to 20 years, but the above indicates 25 years ?
