State Representative Ron Simmons (R - Carrollton) and State Senator Don Huffines (R - Dallas) have both introduced bills, HB 3995 and SB 1588 respectively, that would eliminate the requirement for an annual state vehicle inspection.
We asked you whether you supported these bills in a poll in TIADA's weekly email. According to the results, nearly 70% of respondents favored getting rid of the inspections.

The state inspection allows business to get people in the door. For a dealer with a service department, it's not about the State inspection as it is the things you can find once they come in. Need oil changes, tires, windshield wiper blades. By eliminating the state inspection will cost millions for the state and service departments for dealers. As a small dealer with a service department, it brings in thousand a month.

This topic is really not a yes or no question. The revenue the state will loose and the safety factor for other motorists should be considered. The question should be how do we revamp the process of state inspections?
