I just realized something. In NY, the emissions inspectors work for garages, true? I think that's where my confusion was. In WI you have to go to a separate emissions center, where all they do is test cars. There are only three of four that I know of in our metro area of 1,000,000+ people. I think that's why there's no license or testing required: you're expected to get all that when you start your job.



Okay, then this explains it.
In NY, in order to have the privilege of failing vehicles on Emissions Inspections,
you have to obtain a NYS Motor Vehicle Saftey/Emissions Inspection License.
This requires taking a course and then passing a test.
This gives civilians the right to conduct State Safety & Emission testing.

Since in WI, your inspections are held at a State Owned Emissions Center,
then their employees and Inspectors are considered State Employees,
and they are trained to do the Emissions Inspection under the direction of WI.
