This bill allows a new or used motor vehicle dealer to perform vehicle safety inspections for motor vehicles:
(1) Sold to any person who lives outside of this State and who intends to register the vehicle outside of this State; or
(2) Having less than 30,000 miles for the three-year period following the model year of manufacture.
Currently, used motor vehicles must receive a vehicle safety inspection immediately prior to sale.
This bill specifies that the inspection and approval sticker, seal, or other device must be obtained no more than 60 days before the sale. Vehicles described in (1) and (2) above are exempt from this inspection requirement when sold by a private seller or a licensed new or used motor vehicle dealer that has sold at least 200 vehicles in the previous calendar year. The seller of a motor vehicle who must present a certificate of inspection and approval must do so at the point of sale, and the buyer must submit the certificate when registering the vehicle.
