     § 4532.  Smoke control for diesel-powered motor vehicles.
        (a)  Standards and inspection.--The department shall
     promulgate regulations for the control of smoke from diesel-
     powered motor vehicles prescribing standards, inspection
     procedures and inspection equipment.
        (b)  Compliance with standards.--No person shall operate a
     diesel-powered motor vehicle on a highway in such a manner that
     the smoke emitted exceeds the standards established under this
     section. Each day of operation in violation shall constitute a
     separate offense under this subsection.
        (c)  Correction to avoid prosecution.--Any person arrested in
     violation of this section shall, upon written notice, be given
     the opportunity to correct the violation within 48 hours. If
     sufficient proof of correction is furnished to the arresting
     officer or his representative within 48 hours of the delivery of
     the written notice, no prosecution of the violation shall be
     brought.
        (d)  Limitation on alteration of system.--No person shall
     intentionally change or alter a factory installed smoke control
     system on any diesel-powered vehicle or its fuel system so as to
     limit the ability of the system to control smoke, and no person
     shall remove the smoke control system except for repair or
     installation of a proper replacement.
