August 1st, 2010.

Effective August 1, 2010, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission made changes to the New Jersey Vehicle Inspection Program eliminating the mechanical defects (safety) portion of the inspection process for passenger vehicles. Most passenger vehicles will be required to be inspected biennially (every two years) for emissions only.

I remember the state inspection stations being serious ball-busters... a friend of mine once failed inspection (many years ago) because his after-market shift knob didn't have the gear pattern displayed on it.
The NJMVC is a combination of patronage appointees (top), civil service and contract employees (rest). Nobody wants to do anything.

Wow. When I first moved back from CA I started going to private stations so as not to fail due to my window tint, and continued doing so with my wife's car as I bought new car after new car. I missed this whole change.

The inspection station in Randolph were real ball buster's too. There was a station on rt10 in E. Hanover (along side Sleger's motorcycles) that would pass just about anything
