This bill proposes the repeal of Article 16 of the Code of West Virginia, which encompasses sections 17C-16-1 through 17C-16-9, effectively eliminating the requirement for mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles. The sections being repealed include provisions related to the operation of vehicles without required equipment, the inspection process by the Department of Public Safety, compliance obligations for vehicle owners and drivers, and the penalties associated with failing to produce inspection certificates.

By removing these regulations, the bill aims to streamline vehicle operation requirements in West Virginia, potentially reducing the administrative burden on vehicle owners and the state. The repeal signifies a shift away from mandatory inspections, which may impact vehicle safety standards and enforcement practices within the state.
