Nonetheless, if the vehicle has an MGW of more than 8500 lbs then the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation, the NY State Department of Transportation, or the NY State Police can do a test for any diesel-powered vehicle.

Can you tell me when and where a diesel inspection can happen?
The diesel emissions inspection is made at the annual safety inspection and it's done at a diesel emissions inspection station.
I have another question for about Investigation process. What happens after the investigation is completed?
This will depend on what is found in the investigation. The result could be no action at all, a warning letter Notice of Investigation put in your file, or a formal administrative hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
They said something about a hearing waiver where I would just pay a monetary penalty. What if I don't accept the waiver?
If you reject their offer, a hearing must be held.
What does the hearing process entail?
