Senate committee strips purchase/use changes, sends inspection study and keeps limited fee changes

The Senate committee voted to send S211, a bill asking state agencies to develop a plan to move passenger‑vehicle inspections to a two‑year schedule, to the floor after removing proposed fee and purchase‑and‑use changes. Committee members also approved a substitute motor‑vehicle bill (S326) that retains several small fee changes and expands no‑cost identification for people leaving custody while striking a larger purchase‑and‑use tax provision.
