MS HB982

Repeals the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Law (sections 63-13-1 through 63-13-29, Mississippi Code of 1972)

Requires the Commissioner of Public Safety to issue annual permits to official tint inspection stations for inspecting windshields and issuing compliance labels, with a $10.00 permit fee

Authorizes the Commissioner to suspend or revoke permits for stations that are improperly equipped or conducted, and to make necessary rules and regulations for administration

Amends section 63-7-59 to clarify that tint inspection stations (rather than motor vehicle inspection stations) conduct window tint testing and issue labels certifying 28% or greater light transmittance, with a $5.00 testing fee ($2.00 retained by station, $3.00 to Department of Public Safety)
