Bill Summary

This bill provides that a motor vehicle required to be registered must have an inspection every other year. Current law requires an annual inspection.

AI Summary

This bill amends Maine's vehicle inspection law by changing the frequency of required motor vehicle inspections from annually to biennially (every two years). Specifically, the bill modifies sections of the state's vehicle registration code to replace the word "annual" with "every other year" for both standard and enhanced vehicle inspections. Under the new law, motor vehicles registered in the state, including those in Cumberland County subject to enhanced inspections, will only need to undergo a safety and emissions inspection once every two years instead of every year. The bill allows vehicle owners to still have their vehicles inspected more frequently if they choose. This change could potentially reduce the administrative burden and costs for vehicle owners while maintaining vehicle safety and emissions standards. The bill applies to all motor vehicles required to be registered in the state, with some specific exceptions noted in the existing law.
