(1) The department of
public health and environment, motor vehicle emission control section of the air

joint program for the study of the control of motor vehicle exhaust emissions,
including emissions from model year 1975 and later models. Such emission control
studies shall include such investigations and evaluations of existing and available

economic impacts, effectiveness, and costs involved in the use of such technology
in motor vehicle emissions inspections and maintenance programs as they may
jointly recommend.

(2) (a) The department of public health and environment, motor vehicle
emission control section of the air pollution control division, shall develop a pilot
program for the purpose of testing a representative sample of motor vehicles with
various vehicle emission control alternatives which may include emission testing
and maintenance, air pollution control tune-up, and vehicle modification
alternatives as determined by the commission.

(b) Based upon the results of the pilot program and emission control studies,
the commission shall develop recommendations for implementing programs of
emission testing or mandatory maintenance, or both; air pollution control tune-ups;
and vehicle modifications, including altitude modifications and retrofit control
systems, for the control of motor vehicle emissions. Such recommendations shall
include information on the costs and air pollution control effectiveness of alternate
control measures and legislative and regulatory measures necessary to implement
an effective program. Any program recommended shall be based upon establishing
statewide minimum standards and shall include more stringent standards for motor
vehicles registered in air quality control basins defined by the commission.
