Bill > HB424

This bill modifies motor vehicle inspection requirements in Missouri by changing the age and mileage criteria for vehicle inspections. Specifically, the bill replaces the previous standard of "ten years of age or less" with a new requirement for vehicles of "model year 2012 or newer" with less than 150,000 miles. The legislation affects how the Missouri Department of Revenue retains and manages odometer information for different types of vehicles, including those primarily used for business and personal vehicles. The bill maintains the biennial inspection process for registered vehicles, with certain exceptions such as historic motor vehicles and vehicles engaged in interstate commerce. Additionally, the bill allows for some flexibility in inspection timing, permitting inspections up to 60 days before registration application or vehicle transfer, with a slight extension for vehicles purchased from dealers. The legislation also preserves provisions for operating uninspected vehicles for the purpose of obtaining an inspection or making repairs, and continues to allow for voluntary donations during vehicle registration for causes like blindness education, organ donation, and honoring medal of honor recipients. Violations of the inspection requirements will be considered infractions.
