Georgia vehicle emission inspections waived due to system outage
Vehicle emission inspections in Georgia are being waived due to a system outage.
ATLANTA - A system outage has halted vehicle emissions testing in several states including Georgia.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division said inspections are being waived for the foreseeable future.
According to the GEPD, the system was shut down after their testing vendor detected and stopped a malware attack.
The outage is affecting the transmission of information to and from inspection stations in eight states.
