	An Act Relating to Inspection Requirements for New Motor Vehicles
	Fiscal Note for Bill as Engrossed with: C "A" (S-121)
	Committee: Transportation
Fiscal Note
No net fiscal impact
Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
	Decreases the number of traffic infractions. A reduction in fines will decrease General Fund revenue by minor amounts.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This legislation proposes to exempt from motor vehicle inspection requirements new motor vehicles with dealer plates.  It also increases motor vehicle inspection sticker fees purchased by new motor vehicle dealers by $1.  It is expected that the loss of Highway Fund revenue from exempting these vehicles will be offset by the increase in Highway Fund revenue from the sticker fee increase.
	This legislation could potentially lead to a loss of federal highway and air grant funding.  Any loss would depend upon whether or not the change in inspection requirements increased emissions and/or whether the state was able to mitigate this increase with new emission reduction strategies.
