UPDATE ON VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION FEES

I want to take a moment to update everyone on House Bill 153, which originally proposed an increase in vehicle safety inspection fees. After careful consideration, we have decided to move this issue to a study at the DMV. We’ve asked them to explore all options and report back to the General Assembly with their findings.

At this time, given the economic challenges many North Carolinians are still facing, we believe this is the best path forward. We understand the importance of ensuring that garages and mechanics can sustain their businesses and not simply subsidize the state or operate at a loss, but we also know that many families are working hard just to make ends meet.

Once the DMV completes its study, we will share the results with the public and determine the next steps based on the data. As always, our goal is to make informed decisions that reflect the best interests of the people of North Carolina.

I truly appreciate the thoughtful discussions around this issue and encourage civility and respect as we navigate future challenges together. If there’s anything I or my office can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
