HI HB1089

Extends motor vehicle safety inspection requirements from annual to biennial (every 24 months) for vehicles registered in counties with populations of 300,000 or less.

Directs the director to set inspection fees for affected vehicles to reflect the aggregate cost as if annual inspections were conducted over the two-year certification period, ensuring fiscal neutrality.

Applies to all vehicles covered under standard inspection requirements, including motorcycles, trailers, semitrailers, and antique motor vehicles, except those subject to other inspection schedules.

Intended to reduce time, cost, and workload burden for consumers, businesses, and government agencies while maintaining highway safety standards.

Takes effect July 1, 2112 (with a note that this date appears to be a drafting error).
