If Senate Bill 90 passes, the state no longer would require an annual inspection of motor vehicles.

In New Hampshire, Rep. Glen Dickey introduced a bill (House Bill 1328) that would change the annual inspection requirement to every two years.

“Those bills are the latest in a recent series of legislation designed to dismantle or weaken a state’s safety inspection program,” the Automotive Service Association (ASA) said in a news release. “ASA opposes both SB 90 and HB 1328.”
