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 seeks to remove the legal framework that enforces vehicle inspections, thereby allowing vehicle owners to operate their vehicles without the requirement of passing a state inspection. This change reflects a significant shift in vehicle regulation within the state, potentially impacting vehicle safety standards and enforcement practices.
