Title: Vehicle Safety Inspections Could Become a Thing of the Past in Texas
Post by: Elderberry on May 22, 2023, 11:58:54 am

Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens May 21, 2023

Texas is currently the only Republican-led state that requires annual vehicle safety inspections.

While Texas is currently one of just 15 states that requires annual vehicle safety inspections, that requirement could soon be dropped if Gov. Greg Abbott signs legislation passed by the House and Senate.

House Bill 3297 by State Rep. Cody Harris (R–Palestine) would eliminate the requirement for passenger vehicles to receive annual safety inspections.

The bill passed the House and Senate this month and is currently heading to Abbott’s desk for final confirmation.

It's about time! I can't imagine any reason the Gov wouldn't sign.

I'm just sorry it won't go into effect before I have to get my vehicle inspected next month. :laugh:
