Authorizes private inspection facilities to perform off-site vehicle inspections of one or more vehicles.

This bill, S 496, allows private vehicle inspection facilities in New Jersey to conduct off-site inspections for individual vehicles (not just fleets of 10+ vehicles), specifically for diesel-powered trucks under 8,500 pounds GVWR, heavy-duty diesel trucks, and diesel vehicles. It directly affects private inspection facilities by expanding their service scope beyond current fleet-only rules. The bill explicitly excludes school buses and vehicles with elevated chassis from off-site inspections. All off-site inspections must still comply with rules set by the Motor Vehicle Commission.
