Anti Tampering Program

The 1990 CAAA initiated federal and state laws addressing tampering with a vehicle's emission system. The M&A Section performs unannounced inspections of emissions control equipment of commercial fleets and responds to consumer complaints. If a vehicle has been tampered with, a notice of apparent violation is issued and a copy of this notification is forwarded to the OEPA, who then issues a formal violation. The owner or dealer normally repairs the emissions system when they are notified of the violation. The OEPA may take legal action or administer a fine. The anti-tampering program protects consumers by saving them costly repair fees on tampered vehicles. For more information contact:
