In Wisconsin, a group of lawmakers, led by Representative Bob Donovan, is advocating for the end of mandatory vehicle emissions testing in southeastern counties. They argue that modern car technology has significantly reduced emissions, citing data showing a low failure rate for newer vehicles. However, environmental groups like Clean Wisconsin oppose this, emphasizing the health risks associated with air pollution and the states racial disparity in exposure. The debate persists, with lawmakers seeking federal support to remove testing mandates, while environmental advocates stress the importance of maintaining public health protections.
