Bill > HB209

This bill allows new vehicles purchased in the same calendar year as their model year, or in a year prior to their model year, from a licensed dealer by a natural person as the first owner, to be exempt from the annual vehicle inspection until the last day of the owner's birth month in the second year after purchase; similarly, if the first owner is a corporation, the inspection is deferred until the last day of the purchase anniversary month in the second year after purchase. This change modifies existing laws regarding when vehicles must undergo inspections, which are typically required annually and tied to the owner's birth month or the vehicle's registration date, with exceptions for newly registered vehicles. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2026.
