Bill > SB2169

This bill reinstates the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Law, which was repealed in 2015. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It requires all motor vehicles registered in Mississippi to be inspected and display a certificate of inspection every two years, rather than annually as before. Vehicles registered in other states must also display an inspection certificate when operated in Mississippi. 2. It establishes a $15 biannual inspection fee for vehicles registered in Mississippi, and a $15 fee for vehicles registered in other states, unless a reciprocal agreement is in place. 3. It provides a grace period for obtaining a new inspection sticker in certain situations, and allows charges to be dismissed if a valid inspection sticker is obtained prior to the hearing date. 4. It outlines the details of the vehicle inspection process, including requirements for vehicles with liquefied petroleum or natural gas systems. 5. It establishes a system for licensing and supervising official inspection stations and inspectors. 6. It prohibits the display of false or improperly obtained inspection certificates, and provides penalties for violations of the law. The bill also makes conforming amendments to related sections of the Mississippi Code.
