Removing requirement of inspections and inspection stickers for certain motor vehicles and trailers

SB 868 removes the requirement for annual safety inspections and inspection stickers for non-commercial vehicles, trailers, semitrailers, and pole trailers in West Virginia. Instead, it imposes a new $6 annual or $12 biennial "road security fee" on these vehicles during registration, with all funds directed to the West Virginia State Police. The bill repeals all existing inspection requirements for non-commercial vehicles (sections 17C-16-1 through 17C-16-9) while maintaining federal inspection rules for commercial vehicles. This changes how vehicle safety compliance is handled, shifting from physical inspections to a fee-based system for non-commercial owners.
