Senate Bill 397-Public Act 94-526: This law makes changes in the state's Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program, Starting February 1, 2007, it will eliminate the dynamometer ("treadmill") based testing entirely, that is now in effect for vehicles older than 1996, and require emissions testing within the same current geographical areas for model years 1996 and newer vehicles only, using On Board Diagnostics (readouts from the car's computer). It also allows IEPA to contract with one or more vendors supplying testing services for a period of an additional five years beyond the previous 2007 cutoff.

Awesome! That means when I move back to Illinois I do not have to worry about my GTO or my RX7. Makes perfect sense. Most vehicles older than 10 years old are reduced back to the elements in Illinois.

Don't forget we also can register a 25 year old car with antique plates which are inspection exempt. That's 1982 and older as of Jan 07.
And we also have the show car exemption, as well as the race car exemption. Losta loopholes for us enthusiasts here in IL.
