What must an inspection station do if it changes locations?

When an inspection station changes its location, it is required to refile for a new inspection station license with updated information. This is essential because the inspection station license is specific to a given address, reflecting the location where inspections are conducted. Since regulations surrounding vehicle inspections aim to ensure consistent safety standards and accountability, keeping accurate records of inspection stations, including their locations, is critical for oversight by regulatory authorities.

This requirement ensures that all inspections take place under the same legal and safety standards as those established at the original site. Furthermore, a new location may necessitate compliance with different local ordinances or zoning laws, thus reinforcing the need for a new license reflecting this change. The process of refiling helps to maintain a clear and updated record of all licensed inspection stations in the state for consumer protection and regulatory purposes.
