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 the framework for mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles, including requirements for vehicle safety, compliance by owners and drivers, and the operation of official inspection stations. By repealing these provisions, the bill aims to eliminate the requirement for state inspections of motor vehicles altogether.

The repeal will remove various regulations, including the stipulations for periodic inspections by the West Virginia State Police, the issuance of inspection certificates, and penalties for operating vehicles without these certificates. The overall intent of the bill is to streamline vehicle operation regulations by removing the mandatory inspection process, thereby potentially reducing the burden on vehicle owners and the state enforcement agencies.
