House approves narrower vehicle-inspection schedule and a 94¢ registration fee to fund troopers
Summary
The Utah House passed Third Substitute House Bill 2 98, adjusting motor vehicle inspection intervals to model-year-based checks on years 4, 8, 10 and 12 and adding a 94¢ per-registration fee on passenger cars to fund new Utah Highway Patrol troopers; the measure passed 52-18 and will go to the Senate.
The Utah House on March 2 approved a compromise to the state's vehicle safety inspection program that replaces the Second Substitute of House Bill 298 with a Third Substitute that changes inspection intervals and adds new funding for troopers.
Representative Ipsen, who offered the substitute, said the bill would require inspections on model years 4, 8, 10 and 12 and annually thereafter. "We do inspections on years 4, 8, 10, and 12, and every year thereafter," Ipsen said while describing the negotiated changes.
