I believe so. I have heard that PA doesn't even do emissions inspections yet.

This is my understanding...

Emissions is a Federal standard for new cars sold in the U.S. That is, all cars (this even includes Ferraris and Lamborghinis) sold in the U.S. must be built according to the OBD-II standard. FYI: I believe that CA is slightly different (ie, stricter) than the rest of the U.S.

But checking emissions is another matter...
