HB 4719 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

To eliminate the process of vehicle inspection in West Virginia

HB 4719 repeals all West Virginia laws requiring mandatory state inspections of motor vehicles. The bill eliminates the requirement for vehicle owners to obtain annual safety or emissions inspections and removes related enforcement mechanisms, such as penalties for operating without a certificate. It directly affects all vehicle owners in West Virginia who previously needed to comply with these inspections. The bill removes specific sections of the law that governed inspection stations, fees, and consequences for non-compliance. This is a straightforward repeal of existing inspection requirements with no new provisions added.
