It’s $450.00 and called the waiver program. You do neeed to watch this as well as it is monitored closely too. download CR-79 (from NYSDMV.com) and read section 79.25. What it states is that the car must first fail an inspection. (first being the big part), then it needs to have $450.00 worth of emissions repairs (that apply to the failure reason) then upon re-inspection it can be waivered. Its a little more involed than that but thats the general idea. The invoices are required to be attached to the waiver document that prints out from the machine and the station that keeps the paperwork. Now i know some of you are thinking you could fake receipts. well dont thats called fraud. And it could turn criminal in that YOU and the stationed signed a state document (waiver sheet) and lied about the repairs.
