HB 512 Original 2022 Regular Session Zeringue
Abstract: Repeals provisions relative to the annual fee or charge for a commercial motor vehicle
inspection.
Present law requires an annual charge of $30 for the inspection of all commercial motor vehicles
which are required to be inspected under the provisions of federal law. Provides no charge or fee
other than the $30 fee will be charged for a commercial motor vehicle inspection.
Present law requires the motor vehicle inspection station operator who performs the inspection retain
$23.75, $2.25 to be transferred to the office of motor vehicles for expenses associated with motor
vehicle and financial responsibility programs, and $4 to be transferred to the office of state police
for use in traffic law enforcement.
Present law requires the adjustment of headlights at no additional cost to the operator of the motor
vehicle being inspected be included in the inspection. Provides that the Legislature of Louisiana
declares that a commercial motor vehicle inspection is much more extensive than the inspection
mandated in present law and that the increase in fee or charge for the inspection of commercial
vehicles is based on the difference in the two types of inspection.
Proposed law removes present law.
(Repeals R.S. 32:1306(C)(5))
