Relating to the registration and inspection of vehicles.
HB 3528 modifies Texas vehicle registration and emissions inspection rules. It extends emissions inspections from annual or biennial to a three-year cycle for qualifying vehicles, while adjusting fees to maintain revenue. The bill also creates a new 24-month registration period for new passenger cars and light trucks meeting specific criteria (sold in Texas, first-time registration, current or previous model year). Vehicle owners must pay all applicable fees upfront at registration, including optional fees under Subchapter H. These changes apply to passenger vehicles and light trucks registered under Texas Transportation Code provisions.
