Utah Bill Would Eliminate Safety Inspections

House Bill 319 would repeal the requirement that certain vehicles obtain a safety inspection certificate to be registered and to operate on a highway.

Utah Representative Norman Thurston, R-64, has introduced House Bill 319, which would repeal the requirement that certain vehicles obtain a safety inspection certificate to be registered and to operate on a highway.

Under current law, vehicles registered in Utah must undergo safety inspections based on the age of the vehicle. Vehicles with model years 10 years old and older must pass safety inspections every year.

ASA opposes H.B. 319 and is encouraging Utah’s repair shops to go to ASA’s legislative website, www.TakingTheHill.com, and send a letter to their state legislators in opposition to the legislation (select “Alerts”).
