A BILL to amend and reenact § 46.2-1167 of the Code of Virginia, relating to charges for vehicle safety inspections.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 46.2-1167 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

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

Each official safety inspection station may charge ten dollars a fee for each inspection, but the charge shall not be mandatory. No such charge shall be made unless the station has previously contracted therefor. Any such fee shall be fair and reasonable, based on the service provided, but in no event shall any such fee exceed twenty dollars for inspection of a passenger car or thirty dollars for each inspection of any truck, as defined in safety inspection regulations promulgated by the Superintendent of State Police, if performed prior to July 1, 2002, and fifty dollars for any such inspection performed on or after July 1, 2002.

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 charged by that station for inspection of similar vehicles 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 charged for the inspection of other vehicles passenger cars.
