relative to the use of civilian employees in commercial truck inspections.

HB 533 authorizes New Hampshire's state police to use civilian automotive equipment inspectors (instead of only sworn officers) for commercial truck safety inspections. It also allows certified law enforcement agents to enter trucking company premises during business hours to review safety records for compliance checks, audits, or investigations. The bill directly affects commercial carriers required to maintain these safety records. Requested by the Department of Safety, it updates how inspections and record reviews are conducted under state law.
