| Effective Date: | August 28, 1998 | |||
HCS/SS/SB 518 - This act limits the requirement for motor vehicle safety inspections to once every two years. In addition, the seller of any motor vehicle shall submit the vehicle for a one-time inspection. The fees for safety inspections are raised from $7.00 to $12.00.
The Superintendent of the Highway Patrol may suspend a motor vehicle inspector for up to three years for violating the inspection law (currently one year suspensions are authorized). The Superintendent may appoint trained persons who are not members of the Highway Patrol to enforce the motor vehicle safety inspection laws.
The St. Louis vehicle emissions inspection program shall
include a remote sensory clean screening testing program if the
program causes no more than a 5% reduction in the state's
emission credits and if permitted by the Environmental Protection
Agency. A vehicle that is tested by remote sensory will not be
required to have a separate vehicle emissions inspection if it
meets standards.
