HB 4639 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Repeal code relating to inspection of vehicles

HB 4639 would repeal West Virginia's mandatory vehicle inspection requirements by removing sections of the state code (§17C-16-1 through §17C-16-9) that currently govern vehicle safety inspections. If enacted, this bill would eliminate the state's requirement for periodic safety inspections of motor vehicles, removing a regulatory obligation for vehicle owners. The change would directly affect drivers and vehicle owners who currently must obtain state inspections to comply with registration rules. This repeal would remove existing administrative processes for inspection stations and related penalties for non-compliance.
