Bill > HB2036

This bill modifies motor vehicle inspection requirements by changing the age and mileage criteria for vehicle inspections. Previously, vehicles ten years of age or less were subject to specific inspection and odometer tracking requirements; now, the bill updates this to apply to vehicles from model year 2013 or newer with less than 150,000 miles. The bill requires vehicle owners to submit their vehicles for a biennial (every two years) safety inspection at an official inspection station and obtain a certificate of inspection and approval. For vehicles manufactured in even-numbered model years, inspections will occur in even-numbered calendar years, and for vehicles from odd-numbered model years, inspections will occur in odd-numbered years. The bill also allows temporary operation of uninspected vehicles when traveling directly to an inspection station or for repairs. Additionally, the bill maintains provisions for voluntary one-dollar donations during vehicle registration to support programs such as blindness education, organ donor awareness, and a medal of honor recipients fund. Violation of these inspection requirements will be considered an infraction, which is typically a less serious offense than a misdemeanor.
