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

This bill (HD 3710) requires Massachusetts' Registry of Motor Vehicles to provide new vehicle owners with a mandatory decal showing their next inspection date, replacing a previous optional process. The decal must be included with the vehicle registration, and any fee for it cannot exceed the standard annual emissions testing fee. The law also specifies that the initial inspection waiver for new vehicles does not apply to buses or transportation network vehicles (like ride-share services). This directly affects new vehicle owners by clarifying inspection timing and costs for their first annual inspection.
