Senate Bill 849
Repeal Motor Vehicle Safety Inspections <Text of Bill> <Current bill status
>

This bill calls for the elimination of motor vehicle safety inspections in all counties. Like bill S857, this bill also eliminates the waiver process. Under this bill an emission inspection would have a fee of; $11.00 and $5.40 for the authorization for a total fee of $16.40, a decrease of $13.60 from the current fee of $30.00.

UPDATE 7-29-09 S 849 Dies in Committee

At the meeting Sen. Albertson read a summary of SB849  and discussed why safety inspection were no longer needed in North Carolina. He also went on to say that there is no evidence that safety inspections reduce accidents or fatalities. Several members representing the industry testified in opposition to the bill, including Bob Pulverenti, IGO, IGONC President A. C. Guarino, Reece Hester of NC Tire Dealers Association, as well as representatives from NC DMV and NC Highway patrol.

At the conclusion Sen. Albertson was allowed to give a final statement with Sen. Soles then calling for a motion to move the bill along. No such motion was raised and the bill died in committee.

Senate Bill 857
Emissions Inspection Frequency <Full text>  <Current bill status
>

This bill calls for the elimination of safety inspections in all counties; it also calls for a management improvement plan for the emission inspection program. The bill doesn’t define what the improvements might be. It does, however, change the language from 96 and newer for an emission inspection to “vehicles that are four (4) model years or older” eliminating three (3) years of vehicles from the inspection pool. This bill also changes the fee for the emission inspection to $9.13 and $7.27 for an authorization for a total inspection fee of $16.40, a decrease of $13.60 from the current fee of $30.00. This bill also eliminates the waiver process.
