HB1444

Hawaii HB1444 proposes to change the frequency of motor vehicle inspections from annual to biennial.

Hawaii HB1444 amends the state's motor vehicle inspection requirements, changing the frequency from annual to biennial inspections for most vehicles. This change applies to vehicles including motorcycles, mopeds, trailers, semitrailers, and pole trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less, as well as antique motor vehicles. The bill cites a report from the United States Government Accountability Office suggesting that annual inspections do not conclusively improve vehicle safety conditions.
