Air Pollution Board Emission Testing Update Emission testing remains in effect prior to titling or renewing a vehicle registration until repeal is approved by the United States Environment Protection Agency (EPA). The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation announced in May 2019 that they will recommend elimination of emission testing in counties, including Hamilton. That recommendation will be presented to EPA for approval. This process is expected to take another year before testing ends. Updates will be posted as they become available.
