39:8-53. Registration, certification program, course of instruction for repair facilities, technicians
13. a. The director shall adopt, after consultation with the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety, rules and regulations for the registration of facilities authorized to perform emission-related repairs on vehicles that fail a required emission test. A facility or business shall not correct, adjust or repair, for compensation, any motor vehicle that has failed an emission test required by the director unless it has first obtained from the director a motor vehicle repair facility registration authorizing the facility or business to repair vehicles that have failed an emission test required by the director. The director may establish an annual registration fee, which shall not exceed $50, to defray the cost of registering these businesses and facilities. All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be paid to the State Treasurer and deposited in the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Fund" established pursuant to subsection j. of R.S.39:8-2.
b. The director may deny, suspend or revoke any registration issued pursuant to this section, or refuse renewal thereof, for performance by a registered business or facility of an improper repair on a motor vehicle or for other good cause.
c. The director may establish or approve a repair technician certification program for persons who perform, for compensation, emission-related repairs on vehicles that fail a required emission test.
d. The Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection, shall develop and make available a course of instruction, to be offered at State community colleges and other appropriate educational institutions, for the purpose of training repair technicians in the diagnosis and repair of motor vehicle emission control systems.
