HB649 would remove New Hampshire's requirement for annual passenger-vehicle safety inspections and on-board diagnostic emissions tests, while also eliminating funding tied to the motor vehicle air-pollution abatement fund.

The New Hampshire State Senate rereferred HB649 to committee on May 15, 2025 by a vote of 19 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because mandatory emissions inspections—pushed by the federal government under the Clean Air Act—infringe on the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, 10th, and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Such programs subject citizens to unnecessary government intrusion and further erode personal liberty and state sovereignty. Additionally, emissions-testing schemes advance the globalist goals embodied in the United Nations' Agenda 2030, which seeks to centralize control over energy, transportation, and environmental policy at the expense of local and state authority.
