House approves diesel emissions testing in Utah County

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah County may join the ranks of other counties along the Wasatch Front by instituting a diesel emissions testing program for certain vehicles.House members voted Friday 56-15 to approve HB101 by Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek, and send it onto the Senate for consideration.The measure, which Arent ran last year, apparently was more palatable for some lawmakers because it is a three-year pilot project required to produce failure and compliance rates among tested vehicles.
