Bill > S03103

This bill directs the commissioner of motor vehicles to conduct a comprehensive study of safety inspections for motor vehicles and motorcycles, focusing on existing requirements under section 301 of the vehicle and traffic law. The study will explore potential improvements to the current inspection process, such as identifying whether additional or modified inspection items should be required, and evaluating the maximum fee authorized for official inspection stations. The commissioner will assess whether the current inspection fees adequately balance the costs for both consumers and inspection stations. The bill requires the commissioner to submit a detailed report of the study's findings and recommendations within one year to key state government officials, including the governor, legislative leaders, and heads of transportation committees. The legislation will go into effect 30 days after becoming law, providing a structured approach to potentially updating and improving motor vehicle safety inspection standards in New York State.
