Sen. Don Ipson (R)

SB 77 (Vehicle Safety Inspection Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

Current law requires mandatory safety inspections for new vehicles in years four and eight. This bill would add another safety inspection on year six.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. There is no data to indicate that mandatory safety inspections reduce mechanical failure fatalities. In the absence of data to justify the program, it should be repealed, not increased in scope.
