The Financial Services Committee held a hearing on a measure that would prohibit failure to get a vehicle inspection from resulting in a surcharge on the car’s owner’s insurance.
“Being late on a motor vehicle inspection (expired inspection sticker) should not result in an insurance surcharge, which could be counted towards a suspension of a driver’s license,” said sponsor Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). “It should not be comparable to a moving violation.”
