Stickers nearing expiration
Senate committee that would repeal the article creating mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles in
West Virginia.
Senate Bill 325 is only one sentence long but, if enacted, would end the yearly inspection process required by the state, which has been in place since 1931.
West Virginia is one of only 11 states (including
Virginia) that still require an annual vehicle inspection. Eight other states require inspections under certain circumstances but not annually or for every vehicle.
Two years ago, a bill would have changed the frequency to once every two years in
West Virginia, but it did not advance, despite the support of all area legislators.
