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, detailing requirements for vehicle safety, compliance by owners and drivers, and the role of the Department of Public Safety and the West Virginia State Police in enforcing these inspections. The bill aims to eliminate these regulations entirely, thereby removing the legal framework that mandates inspections.

By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes the requirements for vehicles to undergo state inspections, the penalties for operating without a certificate, and the provisions related to official inspection stations. This legislative change reflects a significant shift in the state's approach to vehicle safety regulations, potentially impacting vehicle operation standards and enforcement mechanisms in West Virginia.
