ATLANTA - Georgia s vehicle emissions inspections will return back to normal Thursday after a week-long system outage.
On March 30, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division waived the inspections for a period of time after the vendor for multiple states noticed and stopped a malware attack.
The outage affected the transmission of information to and from inspection stations in eight states.
Starting Thursday, vehicle owners will be able to obtain their emissions tests.
