relative to annual motor vehicle inspection standards and reinstatement.
HB 1560 restores annual motor vehicle inspection requirements that were repealed in 2025. It requires most vehicles to undergo annual inspections during the owner's birth month (with specific exceptions for antique vehicles, motorcycles, and vehicles with temporary plates), and establishes a point system for tracking violations by dealers and inspection stations. The bill also creates an administrative review process for inspection stations facing sanctions exceeding 20 days. This directly affects New Hampshire vehicle owners, automobile dealers, and licensed inspection stations by reinstating prior inspection rules and enforcement mechanisms.
