Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to repeal the article creating mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill repeals all sections of West Virginia law that established and regulated the mandatory state inspection of motor vehicles, effectively eliminating the requirement for vehicle owners to undergo periodic safety inspections. Previously, these laws outlined requirements for vehicles to be equipped properly and not operate in an unsafe condition, mandated inspections by the Department of Public Safety, and required owners and drivers to comply with these inspection laws, with the Superintendent of the West Virginia State Police responsible for overseeing these inspections and issuing certificates. The bill removes all these provisions, including those related to official inspection stations, permits, fees, and penalties for non-compliance, thereby ending the state's vehicle inspection program.
