This bill introduces new inspection standards for vehicle steering and suspension systems by amending RSA 266. It establishes a new subdivision titled "Steering and Suspension," which includes specific criteria under section 266:118 that vehicles must meet to be operated on state roads. The bill outlines conditions that would render a vehicle inoperable, including excessive steering linkage free-play beyond specified measurements based on wheel size, wheel bearing looseness exceeding manufacturer tolerances, and any broken or cracked ball joints. The term "manufacturer's specifications" is defined to refer to the tolerances and standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for safe operation.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but adds new requirements to enhance vehicle safety standards. The effective date for these new regulations is set for January 1, 2027, allowing time for implementation and compliance by vehicle owners and inspection facilities.
