Emissions testing could soon be a thing of the past in Tennessee.
The state house of representatives voted to do away with it in six counties that require it, including Hamilton County.
Tuesday, the bill’s sponsor, Senator Bo Watson, said he had an amendment to the bill and would present it Tuesday to the senate finance committee.
If the senate approves the bill, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must still approve dropping the test.

The Tennessee Legislature has passed a bill that bans the spanking of disabled children at public schools.
The bill passed in the Senate Tuesday by a vote of 28-0. It cleared the House earlier this month.
If signed into law, the measure would bar school officials from using corporal punishment on kids with disabilities, unless their parents give written approval.
A report released last month by the state comptroller’s office found that disabled children in Tennessee schools were getting spanked at a higher rate than other children in recent years.
Earlier this month, the state Legislature passed a bill that would require public schools in Tennessee to report to the state Department of Education on their use of corporal punishment.
