An act relating to motor vehicle inspections

H.358 (An act relating to motor vehicle inspections) limits when noncommercial vehicles fail safety inspections in Vermont. It requires inspection stations to fail a vehicle only if a part or system poses an immediate risk of accident (like faulty brakes), not for minor issues. For non-dangerous problems (e.g., worn tires), stations must provide written documentation to the owner detailing the issue and recommended fixes, with a copy kept in the vehicle. This bill affects all Vermont vehicle owners and inspection stations, taking effect July 1, 2025.
