An Act relative to the certification of inspection for new motor vehicles

This bill requires the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue a special inspection decal to owners of new vehicles that are currently exempt from the first annual safety and emissions check. The decal will display the month when the vehicle is next due for inspection, and the fee for this sticker will be capped at the cost of the standard annual test. The law specifically excludes buses and transportation network vehicles from this initial inspection waiver. By changing the language from "may" to "shall," the legislation makes the issuance of this decal mandatory for the registry.
