It's more like $100 every year here on an old beater. It scales with value so it can easily be several hundred a year on a new car. $15 is much more reasonable, although given how much we already pay in every fucking kind of tax I really hate profit generating "service fees" in general, even if they're only milking me for $15.
At least I live in an area outside of the major metro so I don't need emissions thanks to a rural exemption.
Emissions as far as I know is still handled by a state sanctioned monopoly with like 3 testing stations in the whole metro area. I believe it was around $50 the last time I had to do it around '07. It's an extra layer of sucks ass if you live in the metro area or burbs.
Oh yeah when you buy a new car, you get to pay sales tax and registration on it!
And you're happy to keep paying the same tax over and over and over for no benefit whatsoever.
I think I pay $15 for the sticker renewal

Damn THAT sucks! How can they rationalize that? Sounds like taxation without representation to me. Ridiculous.
