The Department of Vehicle Regulation shall provide and receive information on the
emissions test status of vehicles registered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The
Department of Vehicle Regulation shall provide appropriate emissions test and
compliance status to the Department of Information Systems for inclusion in the
AVIS database.
Upon notification to the Department of Vehicle Regulation from a county air
pollution control district or the Energy and Environment Cabinet of expiration of a
vehicle emissions compliance certificate, the Department of Vehicle Regulation
shall immediately notify the person who owns the vehicle that unless evidence of
compliance is received within thirty (30) days, the department shall revoke the
registration of the motor vehicle until:
(a) The person presents an emissions certificate to the county clerk and pays the
reinstatement fee required under KRS 186.180; or
(b) The person presents proof in the form of an affidavit stating, under penalty of
perjury as set forth in KRS 523.030, that failure to obtain a current emissions
certificate is the result of the inoperable condition of the motor vehicle.
The provisions of this section and KRS 186.180, 186.990, 224.20-760, and 224.20765 shall not prevent the Transportation Cabinet, a county air pollution district, or
the Energy and Environment Cabinet from seeking the enforcement or operation of
any other statute or ordinance that ensures the compliance of motor vehicles in the
Commonwealth under KRS Chapter 186, KRS 224.20-710 to 224.20-765, or KRS
Chapter 77.
The provisions of this section and KRS 186.180, 186.990, 224.20-760, and 224.20765 shall apply to vehicles that are registered in a county authorized under KRS
224.20-710 to 224.20-765 or KRS Chapter 77 to conduct vehicle emissions tests.
