The Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure met Thursday morning for continued discussion over Senate Bill 543.
The proposed legislation would no longer make it mandatory for an annual motor vehicle inspection, but rather every two years. The bill would also allow used motor vehicles to be sold “as is” under certain circumstances. The used motor vehicle must follow these guidelines which include:
- Custom modified vehicle
- Used motor vehicle is:
- Seven years or older from the model date
- Has over 100,000 miles
- Must be sold at $2,500 or less
The bill also states that that an “as is” sale of a used motor vehicle waives implied warranties but does not waive any express warranties. The Committee unanimously approved the bill, and will be referred to the Committee on Finance.
The Committee also discussed Senate Bill 538 which would authorize the design-build program to be used for projects financed with bonds under authority of the Roads to Prosperity Amendment of 2017 with an obligation limitation of $350 million per project. The bill passed the Committee unanimously, and will be reported to the full Senate to be voted upon.
