ASA Opposes Mo. Legislation on Safety Inspections

Feb. 28, 2019—Automotive industry trade associations have joined to oppose legislation House Bill 451 in Missouri aimed at eliminating that state’s premier vehicle safety inspection program.

In letters to Missouri state lawmakers, the aftermarket trade organizations noted the importance of protecting the motoring public through periodic motor vehicle safety inspections and provided information that supports maintaining these programs.

Last week, HB 451 received initial approval in the Missouri House of Representatives. It must also receive approval from the Missouri Senate.
