Summary
The bill rewrites Rhode Island’s vehicle inspection schedule. New cars must get an inspection within two years of purchase or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. After that, cars and light trucks under 8,500 lb won’t need another inspection until they turn 20, and then they must be inspected biennially for emissions and safety.
