An act relating to making motor vehicle inspections more affordable

H 285 creates a study committee to examine ways to make motor vehicle inspections more affordable in Vermont without reducing safety. The committee, composed of state officials, industry representatives, and community advocates, will study repair costs for failed inspections, opportunities to lower repair expenses, assistance for low-income residents, and the impact of changing inspection frequency from annual to biennial. It must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the legislature by December 30, 2025. This bill does not change current inspection requirements but sets up a process to inform future policy decisions.
