What happened to the Diagnostic Waiver program?
Previously referred to as a diagnostic waiver, an economic hardship failure extension may be granted for vehicles that fail inspection if the estimate to repair or replace a single component is more than 1.5 times the waiver expenditure threshold. In order to receive the extension, the motorist will need to make an appointment at a MAC for evaluation. The extension is valid for one year to allow the motorist time to schedule repairs, and the vehicle must pass the next inspection cycle.
