Bill > A00369

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to modify the certification process for motor vehicle inspectors. Specifically, the bill changes the language regarding how the commissioner of motor vehicles establishes and applies standards of competency and fitness for inspector certification. The revised text indicates that if an individual meets the standards of competency and fitness established by the commissioner, they cannot be denied certification as long as they pay the required fees. This appears to be a procedural change aimed at making the certification process more straightforward and potentially more accessible, by ensuring that applicants who meet the established standards will receive their certification. The bill removes potential discretionary barriers to certification and emphasizes that meeting the established standards and paying fees are the key requirements for becoming a certified motor vehicle inspector.
