SENATE BILL NO. 852 Offered January 12, 2005 Prefiled January 10, 2005 A BILL to amend and reenact § 46.2-1158 of the Code of Virginia, relating to frequency of vehicle safety inspections. ---------- Patron-- Cuccinelli ---------- Referred to Committee on Transportation ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 46.2-1158 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 46.2-1158. Frequency of inspection; scope of inspection.

Motor vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers required to be inspected pursuant to the provisions of § 46.2-1157 shall be reinspected within twelve 24 months of the month of the first inspection and at least once every twelve 24 months thereafter.

Each inspection shall be a complete inspection. A reinspection of a rejected vehicle by the same station during the period of validity of the rejection sticker on such vehicle, however, need only include an inspection of the item or items previously found defective unless there is found an obvious defect that would warrant further rejection of the vehicle.

A rejection sticker shall be valid for fifteen 15 calendar days beyond the day of issuance. A complete inspection shall be performed on any vehicle bearing an expired rejection sticker.
