PA SB35

Requires the Department of Environmental Protection to initiate removal of seven specific Pennsylvania counties from the enhanced vehicle emission inspection and maintenance program within 60 days of the bill's effective date, based on population ranges from the most recent federal census

Mandates submission of a revised State Implementation Plan to the U.S. EPA by January 1, 2026, demonstrating that the removed counties can maintain air quality standards without the vehicle emissions testing program

Allows additional counties previously subject to emissions testing to be removed if DEP can demonstrate they can maintain relevant air quality standards without the program, with a 180-day deadline to submit those revised plans

Requires DEP to comply with federal law during the revision process, ensuring no interference with air quality attainment requirements and no negative impact to federal funding

Requires DEP to notify relevant Senate and House committee chairs (Environmental Resources and Energy, Transportation) upon submission of revised plans to EPA, and publish notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin upon EPA approval
