Emissions Change of Law in NJ (OBD1?)

[furinax]

Just read an article about this change: http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Inspections/tailpipe.htm

Beginning May 1, 2016, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is changing the inspection requirements for certain vehicles. Due to the cessation of tailpipe emission testing, the following passenger vehicles now will be exempted from inspection:

• Gasoline powered vehicles registered passenger, model year 1995 & older with a GVWR 8,500 pounds or less.

• I think this is great news for me since my car is a '92 and I don't have to worry about this anymore. Is any other state doing this? I assume it is just too much effort for them to check tailpipe emissions as these cars are slowly dying off the roads.
