About this episode
The episode discusses the elimination of annual motor vehicle inspections in New Hampshire and the legal challenges surrounding it.
In 2025, New Hampshire lawmakers passed a measure to eliminate their annual motor vehicle inspection requirement, effective Jan. 31, 2026. The vendor that had overseen the state’s vehicle inspections, Gordon-Darby Holdings Inc., challenged that measure, filing a lawsuit. The state was made aware by federal and state officials that repealing the inspection program without first obtaining the EPA’s approval regarding federal environmental law would violate the Clean Air Act. The program was repealed without approval first, leading to further legal proceedings and public confusion. What are your thoughts on eliminating annual motor vehicle inspections? NH House Majority Leader Rep. Jason Osborne checked in to bring clarity to the topic! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
