If by December 1 following the approval of a consolidated local government,
the county containing the adopted consolidated local government has been
notified by federal authorities of the attainment of the county of the air quality
standards established by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for
ozone, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide, the air pollution control district
board in that county shall upon July 15, 2002, begin the necessary actions to
eliminate any vehicle emissions testing program operated in the county by
November 1, 2003. The air pollution control district board shall not enter into or
renew any contracts with any vendors for the operation of a vehicle emissions
testing program which would extend beyond this date.
If a consolidated local government should be notified at a date beyond
November 1, 2003, of the county's nonattainment of the air quality standards
established by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for ozone, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide, notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 77.115,
224.20-130, or 224.20-760 to the contrary, the consolidated local government
shall determine the need for the reestablishment, administration, operation,
and the role, if any, of an air pollution control district if a vehicle emissions
testing program is re-created by the consolidated local government in
accordance with KRS 224.20-710 to 224.20-765. Nothing in KRS Chapters 77
and 224 shall preclude a consolidated local government from utilizing other
methods and procedures for reaching attainment of the air quality standards
established by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for ozone, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
