HB 4882 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Repealing vehicle inspection sticker requirements in WV

HB 4882 repeals West Virginia's requirement for mandatory annual vehicle inspections, which currently requires drivers to obtain a sticker after a state inspection. This bill directly affects all vehicle owners in West Virginia who would no longer need to get annual inspections or display a sticker. The bill removes the legal mandate by repealing specific sections of the state code (§17C-16-1 to §17C-16-9) that established the inspection program. As a result, the state would no longer enforce this inspection requirement for motor vehicles.
