CT emissions: For production cars, must pass the emissions standard for the year of the make/model which since approx 1996 ( + or - ) is via a cable hook up to the vehicles recorder/diagnostic unit.

Do not know specifics, but in some cases the dyno will be used to obtain an emissions reading

The most recent change, if the Check Engine light has been re-set, the emissions testing system will invalidate the test until approx 7 days have elapsed. If the Check Engine light is on, the garage will not test the vehicle.

There are additional CT emissions web sites, 2 are

"On-Board Diagnostics, or "OBD," is a computer-based system built into all 1996 and later light-duty vehicles and trucks, as required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. OBD systems are designed to monitor the performance of some of an engine's major components including those responsible for controlling emissions"
