Emissions tests seem to vary a lot by state. Here in NH all they do is test '96 or later cars--one that have OBD II systems. They plug into the system, check for codes and any indication that something is amiss, and you're done. No dyno, no tailpipe sniffers.
The charge varies, but most places hit you for $40 which includes a fairly thorough look at the car: brakes, ball joints, shocks (can't be leaking), rust, tires, lights, exhaust, tie rod ends, CV boots, etc. Most places drive the car, too. My Saab indy also checks the control arm bushes.
