Please note: The following notice affects 3 proposed rules received at the Office of the Secretary of State. The Agency of Transportation has requested the advertisements be combined to reduce costs associated with publication.
Proposed Rules 04P036 and 04P037 are being repealed. Proposed rule 04P038 is being amended to include rules governing the inspection of school buses, motorcycles and mopeds as well as passenger vehicles and trucks.
Rules Governing Inspection of School Buses (repeal)
Vermont Proposed Rule : 04P036
Rules Governing Inspection of Motorcycles & Mopeds (repeal)
Vermont Proposed Rule: 04P037
Rules Governing Inspection of Motor Vehicles.
Vermont Proposed Rule: 04P038
AGENCY: Transportation, Dept. of Motor Vehicles
CONCISE SUMMARY: This rule (04P038) will consolidate the "Rules Governing the Inspection of Pleasure Cars, Trucks, Trailers and Buses (except School Buses)", "Rules Governing Inspection of Motorcycles and Mopeds" and "Rules Governing Inspection of School Buses" into one "Rules Governing the Inspection of Motor Vehicles". The newly consolidated rule sets forth the minimum equipment safety standards for motor vehicles, the requirements for the establishment and certifying of Official Inspection Stations and Inspection Mechanics as well as the penalties for failure to adhere to the standards. The amendments to the consolidated rule update Vermont's equipment and safety standards to meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standards for larger vehicles which are not incorporated by reference.
TYPE OF PERSONS AFFECTED: Inspection Stations, Certified Inspection
Mechanics, The Department of Motor Vehicles and the general motoring public.
COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: These amendments do not economically impact inspection stations. Owners and operators of vehicles governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standards must meet these standards. However, the federal standards have been in effect for many years, for some of the vehicles manufactured in 1993 and later years, thus, these vehicles may currently meet the new standards. The Department of Motor Vehicles will save $2,800.00 in costs each occasion the inspection rules must be amended in that there will only be one rule to update versus three rules.
