I have a question about emissions tests in Illinois.
We live in southwestern Illinois, in St. Clair county about a half-hour outside St. Louis. Emissions inspections are required in this county, but when we first moved here last May they inspected the cars until they were licensed in Illinois.
So eventually the Virginia tags expired and I got the cars registered, licensed, and titled in Illinois. Unlike the counties in Virginia that require emissions testing, they didn't require successful emissions tests before they issued the plates and everything else.
Do I still have to get their emissions inspected? Why would I if they can be licensed uninspected? What's the penalty if I don't? http://www.epa.state.il.us/air/vim/ and the other links that come up in a google search for "illinois emissions" don't mention anything about penalties, and the Illinois DMV obviously doesn't care if the cars' emissions are good.
