Please settle this question

I took it back for the second inspection, and it failed again for pressure test. It passed all the other testing categories like before.
I didn't know they could do this......but the shop supervisor gave it a passing grade anyway.

She said I can see you made an effort to fix this. She also said it needs to be fixed when I come back in 2 years.

She suggested the vapor hose at the fuel tank vent should have a hose clamp. So I hose clamped it when I got home.

I tracked down two State Senators who work on air quality committees. I emailed both of them saying emissions testing exemptions
should be added for more makes and models including mine.

AZ is on some shit. Here OBDI checks for no CEL, exhaust sniffer, and they very recently started testing your gas cap. You can also waive the test if you show you spent enough money trying to fix it. Used to be $200, raised it to $1000, which is kind of high.

Maybe suggest the gas cap test / "I tried" waivers when you talk to the politicians.
