West Virginia Sen. Robert Karnes, R-11, recently introduced Senate Bill (SB) 90. If enacted, this legislation would repeal West Virginia’s vehicle safety inspection program, which requires an annual inspection.

In New Hampshire, Rep. Glen Dickey, R-Hillsborough-05, introduced House Bill (HB) 1328 that would change the annual inspection requirement to a biennial (every two years) requirement.

Those bills are the latest in a recent series of legislation designed to dismantle or weaken a state’s safety inspection program, according to ASA. ASA opposes both SB 90 and HB 1328.
