Connecticut raised the emissions-repair spending threshold for a cost waiver

Effective January 1, 2026, Connecticut's emissions program lists $1,137 as the minimum qualifying emissions-related repair expense for a repair-cost waiver. Qualifying repairs must be performed by a Certified Emissions Repair Technician at a Certified Emissions Repair Facility, and the threshold is adjusted with the Consumer Price Index.
