If you buy a new car in Maryland, you now have extra time before you have to get the emissions inspected.
Governor Larry Hogan announced several rule changes Wednesday. Drivers of new cars now have an extra year to get checked. Also, owners of light-duty vehicles made before 1996 are now exempt from emissions inspections.
Transportation officials say the new rules would save drivers more than $2 million. The changes went into effect January 1.
