This bill proposes the repeal of several sections of the West Virginia Code, specifically 17C-16-1 through 17C-16-9, which pertain to the mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles. The sections being repealed include regulations regarding vehicle safety requirements, inspection procedures by the Department of Public Safety, compliance obligations for vehicle owners and drivers, and the penalties associated with operating vehicles without the required inspection certificates.
The primary aim of the bill is to eliminate the requirement for mandatory state inspections, thereby removing the associated regulations and penalties outlined in the repealed sections. This legislative change reflects a shift in policy regarding vehicle safety inspections in West Virginia.
