Bill Information

Presenter:
John J. Cronin

The bill introduces mandatory changes to the vehicle inspection regulations in Massachusetts by amending Section 7A of Chapter 90 of the General Laws. It stipulates that a decal indicating the next annual vehicle inspection month must be issued for new motor vehicles that receive an inspection waiver. The registrar is responsible for providing these decals along with the vehicle's registration certificate to the owner, with the decal fee capped at the same amount as that of the annual emissions testing and safety program. Furthermore, the bill specifies that the initial inspection waiver is not applicable to buses and transportation network vehicles, which must adhere to their distinct inspection requirements.
