Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 46.2-1167. Charges for inspection and reinspection; exemption.

A. Each official safety inspection station may charge ten no more than:

1. Fifty dollars for each inspection of any (i) tractor truck, (ii) truck that has a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,000 or more, or (iii) motor vehicle that is used to transport passengers and has a seating capacity of more than sixteen passengers, including the driver;

2. Five dollars for each inspection of any motorcycle; and

3. Ten dollars for each inspection, but the of any other vehicle.

No such charge shall not be mandatory. No, however, and no such charge shall be made unless the station has previously contracted therefor.

B. Each official safety inspection station may charge one dollar for each reinspection of a vehicle rejected by the station, as provided in § 46.2-1158, if the vehicle is submitted for reinspection within the validity period of the rejection sticker. If a rejected vehicle is not submitted to the same station within the validity period of the rejection sticker or is submitted to another official safety inspection station, ten dollars an amount no greater than that permitted under subsection A of this section may be charged for the inspection.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the maximum fee for the inspection of motorcycles shall be one-half the fee permitted for the inspection of other vehicles.
