As far as I know Florida does not test at all.

I looked and they did stop it based on the air quality measurements.
It used to just be the big cities (Orlando, Jax, Tambay and the SE
coast)



I was surprised that Florida didn't require an emissions or safety
inspection at all back in 2001 when we first bought a house down there.

Massachusetts used to have a yearly safety and emissions test that
included putting your car on a dynamometer and measuring the emissions
from the exhaust system at various speeds and loads. The state did away
with the active emission test a few years ago and now just rely
on the computer read out from the OBD. Still have to undergo a
general safety inspection every year though. Lights, ball joints,
tires, exhaust, etc.


Obviously if you are counting on the computer to rat itself out, it is
not going to happen if the programmer doesn't want it to.
