When that law went into effect, it was a 20 year rolling emissions check. At 21 years old, it no longer needed emissions. I personally think the legislature got hooked on the money because in 95, they decided it was no longer going to be a rolling spec but was now fixed at 1973 for the exempt/non exempt cutoff.

Someone probably also foresaw cars lasting a lot longer. A 21 year old car was made in 2004, and it's not uncommon to see cars from the early 2000s on the road - probably more so out there where they don't rot out like they do in Ohio.
Can't have the plebs driving perfectly useful cars for that aren't being checked for emissions (and paying for the privilege.)
