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 repealing these provisions, the bill aims to eliminate the requirement for mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles in West Virginia. This legislative change would remove the existing framework that governs vehicle safety inspections, including the roles of the West Virginia State Police and official inspection stations, as well as the associated penalties for non-compliance.
