In Maryland, can you get car emissions waiver if you have an MVA-issued disabled hang tag but regular plates?

These are non-handicap license plates on both vehicles, but an MVA-issued handicap hang tag that can be used in either car.

No. Read the rules, they are quite specific:

Disabled Citizen Waiver

Disabled citizens, with the metal disabled registration plates and whose vehicle is driven less than 5,000 miles per year, can request a waiver for the remainder of the two year test cycle. Please note: all vehicle owners must meet the requirements for the disabled registration plates to qualify. On the back of the registration notice sent to you, please indicate all owners are disabled, write the vehicle’s current mileage and send it back to the VEIP Program.

"With the metal plates" and "Driven less than 5,000 miles per year."
