Illinois will resume sending residents vehicle emissions test notices after it stopped in December due to the lack of a state budget. 

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of State says that that the EPA's vehicle emissions testing contractor, Applus Technologies Inc., has agreed to print and email the reminders at no additional cost to the state.

Illinois EPA spokeswoman Kim Biggs says that the notices started to go out Wednesday for vehicles due for emissions tests in March, April and May.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White says his office will resume the emissions testing requirement for motorists seeking renewals of their license plate stickers beginning in June. But his office still won't send renewal notices for license plate stickers.
