Summary: This legislation requires TXDPS and DMV to enter into an agreement regarding timely submission of certain records and information and requires DPS to maintain a database in which inspection stations are required to submit. This bill stipulates that the DPS will not be handing out printed verification of inspection forms instead of stickers. This bill sets up a network of inspection stations where vehicle registrations are also performed. This bill creates an offense for fraudulent emission test reports and fraudulent certificate. An offense for fraudulent certificates and documents will be prosecuted as Perjury, under Sec. 37 of the Penal Code. This bill requires TxDMV, DPS, and the TCEQ to adopt rules necessary for the full implementation of this law.
Analysis: This bill essentially consolidates vehicle inspection and registration into one operation. This legislation falls outside the purview of TPPS’s liberty principals.
