This bill provides that a motor vehicle may not be rejected for violation of any inspection standard for exterior, nonstructural corrosion. It defines "exterior, nonstructural corrosion" to be corrosion of a body component, including corrosion that has resulted in a hole or aperture in the body component, that does not compromise the integrity of the frame or any mechanical component of the motor vehicle necessary for safe operation. The bill specifies that "exterior, nonstructural corrosion" includes but is not limited to corrosion of a hood, trunk, hatch, door, fender, rocker panel or pickup bed but does not include corrosion that affects the interior of the motor vehicle's passenger compartment. The bill allows the Chief of the State Police to adopt rules to facilitate the application and administration of this provision.
