          Adds reference to:                                                   
          625 ILCS 5/13B-25

   with changes. Provides that the owner may bring a civil action against

   in calendar year 1995. Further amends the Emission Inspection Chapter

   that shall be followed on model year 1996 and newer vehicles  equipped      
   with  OBDII  on-board  computer diagnostic equipment, if authorized by      
   the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency  and  the  Pollution  Control      
   Board or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.   Provides that      
   if  a  vehicle  is damaged by the contractor in performing an emission      
   inspection, the owner of the vehicle may bring a civil action  against      
   the  contractor  in  the  circuit  court  of  the  county in which the      
   inspection occurred in accordance with the provisions of the  Illinois      
   Code of Civil Procedure.  Effective immediately.
