I now respond:

Not entirely right, JR.  Here in NJ, there are no fees for the State 
inspection unless you choose to have a private garage do it.  But, 
obviously, nothing is "free" and so the state-operated inspection 
stations are funded by motor vehicle registration fees and other 
taxpayer sources.  But there are no state employees, there is a 
private contractor in place.

To more seriously answer Dennis' question, in NJ the State inspection 
is a basic safety inspection (lights, brakes, etc) plus the emissions 
inspection.
