This bill changes how sheriffs can appoint special inspectors to conduct motor vehicle inspections, and sets new fee amounts sheriffs may collect depending on whether a dealership has its own appointed inspector. It also requires the state Transportation Cabinet to create an electronic inspection form, protects certified inspector numbers from public records requests, and makes it a misdemeanor to share or a felony to sell those numbers. Who it may affect: car dealerships and their employees, county sheriffs, and individuals seeking motor vehicle inspections.
