This bill proposes the repeal of Article 16 of the Code of West Virginia, which encompasses sections 17C-16-1 through 17C-16-9. These sections currently establish mandatory state inspections for motor vehicles, outlining requirements for vehicle safety, inspection procedures by the Department of Public Safety, compliance obligations for vehicle owners and drivers, and penalties for operating vehicles without proper inspection certificates.

By eliminating these provisions, the bill aims to remove the requirement for mandatory inspections, thereby allowing vehicle owners greater autonomy regarding the maintenance and safety checks of their vehicles. The repeal signifies a shift in regulatory approach, potentially reducing the administrative burden on both the state and vehicle owners.
