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 mandate state inspections for motor vehicles, outlining 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 mandatory inspections entirely.

By repealing these provisions, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that governs vehicle inspections in West Virginia, including the penalties for operating a vehicle without a valid inspection certificate. The intent behind this legislation is to relieve vehicle owners from the obligation of mandatory inspections, thereby potentially reducing regulatory burdens on citizens.
