HB 2177 -- Motor Vehicle Safety Inspections

Sponsor:  Kirkton

This bill requires the Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol
to issue rules and regulations to computerize the vehicle safety
inspection program in order to eliminate unnecessary paperwork;
make vehicle safety inspections more efficient, effective, and
fair; eliminate the need for inspection stickers on vehicles; and
increase consumer protection and safety.  The rules and
regulations must specify the equipment that official inspection
stations must have and what portion, if any, of the inspection
fee must be used to cover the cost of computerizing the program.

The bill also increases the fee for each official inspection from
an amount not to exceed $12 to an amount not to exceed $18 and
increases the fee for each certificate of inspection paid to the
patrol by official inspection stations from $1.50 to $2.  Of the
$2 fee collected, $1.50 instead of the current $1 must be
deposited into the State Highway Fund.
